Tekdredger,

My 2+2s and 1+1s are all in the same system.

The 2+2s are up front and the 1+1s are the rear surrounds. I do not have a center channel speaker yet.

In regards to the center channel, I did buy, on e-bay, an Acoustat electrostatic panel (a bare, single panel) with the idea of having it as a spare in case any damage occurs to one of the 2+2s or 1+1s. I am also toying with the idea of using it as a center channel speaker if I can also find the HV stepup audio transformers for it.

The motivation for using the 1+1s as surrounds was the purchase of a sacd player. Prior to the sacd player, the surrounds (Bose 301s that I got for really cheap) were used only for DVD movie sound effects: explosions, gunshots, aircraft sounds and other NOISES that the bose did an acceptable job on. Music is a different story, so I decided to use the 1+1s as the surrounds.

I don't have much in the way of multichannel sacds yet, so the 1+1s still just make movie noises, like the bose, but they are much more musical movie noises.
