The stupid premise of the original post should be enough to suck it into that black hole of darkness.....  
Can you think of a reason not to?
It sounds as though you’ve answered all of your own questions.

You’ll never get the best results when combining home theater and two channel into one system. Compromises will be made. It’s up to you to decide which one gets compromised.

This is the passive linestage that I would highly recommend.   Hattor Audio “The Big”

I think in most situations a two channel amp is going to perform better than a multi channel amp. For one thing, those five channels are most likely sharing the same power supply. And this is a great opportunity to seek out better sounding amps t...

Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........
Well I think dogs are safe (for the time being), but you'd all better keep your cats indoors. Just kidding, or maybe not.......

why do you need the second preamp? why not run the passive directly to your amp? @glennewdick  That's the point I was trying to make above. Unless he absolutely needs the gain, a high quality passive (not the cheap one he bought) will be much ...

I don't know anything about their speakers, but damn, what a horrible website. It looks as though it was designed in 1995.

If you like it, that's all that matters. But compare two passive preamps, one using an ALPS pot and the other using this high quality khozmo ladder type volume control. There will be a distinct difference.   Khozmo 64 step ladder attenuator

The problem is you now have a cheap alps pot and a second set of interconnects in the circuit. You are definitely changing the sound, but if you are ok with that, fine. It’s not a novel idea, it’s been done many times. But remember, the volume con... 
Amplifier recommendation
The  Coda 11 is indeed a discontinued model. I had one back in the late 90s, so you can see how old it is. It’s a great sounding amp, but I’d steer clear of one unless you want to do at least a recap on it.
