First, if you choose to use only two (L/R) speakers, you cannot set the center channel level effectively. In order to do that, you need a real center channel speaker, not a phantom.

Second, modern AVRs have line-level (RCA) outputs for the sub and will not drive an unamplified subwoofer such as your "spare passive 3-Ohm sub."

Third, the Sony will not output anything from SACDs over digital coax/optical outputs and certainly not as dts. You need to use the HDMI or the analog outputs.

So, it seems what you need to get is a 3.1 system with HDMI input, so you can enjoy SACD and be able to boost/tweak the center channel output to your needs. I do not know how that fits into your (unstated) budget.
