...how about I just grab a mid range Denon with amps built in, 4k capability, dts x, etc and just run an extra set of wires (use spades from the Mc mono blocks and bananas from the Denon) to my all McIntosh 2 channel system speakers....
Makes sense - you would need to swap the cables back and forth when using 2 CH rig or the Denon - unless you made DAMN SURE that they were both relay isolated (not sure) and NEVER turned them on together. And had away to make sure no one else in your household could make that fatal mistake.

I think the Denon would lose a street fight with the 501 in a heartbeat.
