Abominations: HT processor to tube amps?


I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this?
I recognize that merely speaking of this will send me to hell, but still, I must know.

I run my HT thru a NAD M15 HD into Rogue M-150 monos. It’s absolutely outstanding. I’ve got an Adcom 6 channel amp running bridged center and surrounds (leaving the other two to pick up Atmos once I upgrade the NAD).  My two-channel listening goes thru the analog bypass/7.2 channel input/output, while HT goes via the DSP stages.

The only issue I have has to do with practicality vs. anything sonically. Turning on and off a SS system for HT in a couple of hours is pretty mindless. Add two big tube monos, however, and you have to think of going right into music listening (as the tubes are warm) - vice leaving them on and sucking up electrons, or turning them off to later turn them on to warm them up.
