Just a suggestion, but you might want to run you pre-out from the PRe3 to the Front left and right 7.1 inputs of the 850, assuming that these aren't already used for SACD/DVD-A. Then leave the Bel Canto at a fixed volume and drive all speakers and the SMS-1 with the Onkyo 850.That way all volumes would remain consistant amoungst the speakers and the 850 could handel the base management. I wouldn't think that passing through what is essentially a pre in on the 850 would degrade the SQL of the Bel Canto.
I really do not want to run the signal from the PRe3 through the 805. It would kind of defeat the purpose of the dedicated 2CH preamp and effect SQ. For 2CH music listening the SQ of PRe3 is much better than the 805 by far. Thanks for your suggestion though.
