That is a good question. I also have Matrix 801's and am looking for a center channel. There was a post here from someone a few days ago who was selling an HTM2 that he had recently bought to go with Matrix 801's. He said that he had emailed B&W to ask about the set-up and was told that the Matrix HTM would be a much better match for the Matrix 801's than the HTM2 he was planning to use. That was the reason he gave for selling the HTm2. I have been unable to find the post, but will keep looking. Emailing B&W their opinion may be a good idea for us to find out for ourselves.
