B&W 800 matrix for home theatre??

[ac81017]

I have a nice sized room in my basement 5m x 7m. I can´t decide if I should use my 801 series 80 as front and music, build my own centre using a pair of 12inch from 801s and penguin DM series midrange and tweeter and 805 matrix as rear?? OR Infinity Kappa 8.1/8.2 as front, 2 pairs of Infinity rs5000, one pair for front and the other for rear??

Is anyone using the old 800 series for home theatre??? I would like some input.
In my mind I´m thinking the old 800 series are for music only??

I don't see any problem. If a box is good in music it is good in HT as well - at least that's my opinion.
I use the 801 S3 al front boxes; the HDM1 al center en 2 CDM 9NT for surround.
To me it sounds very nice ! - not only for movies, but - very important to me - for music (classic, opera) as well.

I have the small center, htm 2 with my b&w 801 serie 80 and it works fine to me.
