Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?

Anyone using Bose 901 speakers in a home theater? I'm considering getting one or two pair of good used 901's in a home theater setup. Anyone using Bose 301 or Bose 501 in a home theater?

I'm 64 years old. I don't know too much about high end equipment. all I can say is I bought my 4 901 series in 1971 during the 4 chanell era. till today I still have them so I don't know what I'm missing because I never heard any other high end speakers. I'm retired so I don't have funds to upgrade. one thing I do know is after reading and hearing since 1971 is that it's better too have too much power then to have enough power. so currently I have a McIntosh mc602 power amp with 600 watts per chanell.
from 1971 till 1988 i had a 4 chanell system. from 1988 till 2000 it was in storage. from 2000 till now i only listen to music, radio and tv thru my system.  in 2011 i got the mc602 and in 2014 i got the mx132. i only use it once a week. i only bought these 2 units just to have it.
back in the early 70's there was 4 chanell and i had 4 901's. i basicly had mine setup as 2 up front and 2 on the sides.
i have 4 bose 901's i purchased back during the 4 chanell era. today i use it in a 2 chanell system. i would think that if you wanted to use these in a home theater setup you sholud have it in a room with no windows because the way they were designed. i don't know if the center speaker would be ok with the 901. this just my thoughts.
because of the way the 901's are designed, i would think that you would need a room with no windows so the music would reflect the way it's supposed to do.
