Zone 1 is certainly fine unless you tend to play pretty loud and might want some extra wattage to keep it clean. I'd like to understand how the three rears are wired and amplified though before I say for sure.

Can you describe how zone 2 works a bit more? Is zone 2 set to be a pre-out for the Speakercraft system? In other words, does the speaker selector or volume control provide provide the additional amplification?

I would think it would have to in order to drive up to six speakers at once, in which case you should also be fine as then the Denon isn't doing any of the real amplification work.
