Counterpoint SA2
If the counterpoint is only a Head Amp then yes. but If it is outputting a full line level signal then NO just go into a regular line level input or you will over drive the circuits.  
AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality
I read what your saying about integrated, but I would suggest something like the Anthem integrated with their room correction that will integrated your sub much better then what your proposing. Or their similarly outfitted pre-amp with room correc...
