The would be some caveats with your suggested setup. First, only Phantom II supports analogue input. Second; the sound deterioration using an unbalanced signal over a longer distance could be a problem. Third; if you're unlucky, you'll stumble upon latency problems, and the average AVR isn't capable of delaying the picture, only the sound. Fourth: Be sure to get an AVR that mixes the LFE track to all speakers/the speakers you choose. They are surprisingly hard to come by and s movie without the LFE track is dead boring.
Optical direct mode would be an alternative, but only Phantom I and Phantom II Custom supports the option, if I my recollection is right.
I've used the cheapo solution with an AVR, some ADCs and optical connection to the speakers to make a surround system. It was a blast, but I only had 5 Phantom I's. Your best option would probably be the expensive one; a Dante enabled AVR, Dante to optical connectors to Phantom I in optical direct mode, or Phantom II Custom's all the way around.
