Thank you for your input, gents. It is appreciated.

Well, I have to split something. I only have one balanced XLR center channel output I can use on the MX135. My thought was to split the signal input from the MX vs. splitting the power output from the MC.

The MC207 is a good amp but it adds 2 more channels I won't be using. I'm leaving one unused on the MC205 as it is.

I'll have one more channel than I need under the scenario I envisioned. If I can serve both speakers with their own channel on the amplifier would that not be a better approach?

My two left & right front main speakers have their own MC501's so I have no concerns over having enough outputs.

As I pondered my question last night I realized the MC205 inputs are labeled for certain functions. However, those labels don't prevent me from using the MC205 inputs for other outputs from the MX.
