Well I have some thoughts on this....
I agree with what is said above; the splitter idea is not a good one. Also, using a pre/pro is the best way to do business.
Your plasma has a wattage for the amp at about 16 watts. Check it. Interestingly, you could drive the sat 5s with this, as their requirement is very low. BUT- since sound quality is less of a concern, an even more efficient choice and less expensive is a set of Klipsch RB-15s or RB-25s. Do I think these speakers are great for audio? Nope. Would they be fine for listening to TV? Sure. Could your plasma amp drive them? Yes.
But whatever you do, do NOT do that splitter thing you were mentioning. You are asking for some fiscally painful trouble, or a loss of functional use of part of your system.
