I don't know that this will help but I have a subwoofer connected to the Devialet, though I don't always switch it on, and have my AV processor connected to bypass but I have set up the system as 4.0 rather than 5.1 and defined the front speakers in the AV setup as full range.
This way the absent centre channel and sub channels of movies are split between the front pair of speakers, which are driven by the Devialet.
It works very well.
Some say a centre dialogue channel is important for films, but in my room I found this solution better than adding a fifth speaker which was inferior to my mains.
