It should sound great, but unless my maths is off, what you are describing is 11.1.

If the Onkyo can only achieve 9.1 (well 9.2 technically), you won't be able to have rears, front height AND front width, only two of the three.

I'm not familiar with the 5009, it may well be able to output the 10th and 11th channels you are after, to a seperate amp, but it doesn't have onboard amplification to do it alone.
