I believe the AVR will still do all the decoding/processing of the signal, the Monoblocks are just amps, so they would be powering the mains, and the AVR built in amps would be powering the rest of your setup.

My question is why do you think you need mono's?

My 2805 drives my 7.1 system with no problem at insane volume levels.
