Good or Bad: Rotel Receiver and B&W?


I am about to make a purchase to upgrade my current system to a surround one. These are what I have:

B&W Matrix 801
McIntosh MC206 Power Amp(older version)
McIntosh Preamp (won't be using this in the new system)

I have chosen the following for upgrade:

Rotel RSX-1056 75 x 5, 7.1 surround receiver
B&W Nautilus 805 (for back)
B&W Nautilus HTM-1 (center)
B&W ASW 800 for subwoofer

Will be using McIntosh PowerAmp to power the front two speakers.I would greatly appreciate your opinion! Good or bad match? Flaws? Mismatches? Me a fool?

Have you listened to the new system? I would prefer your existing system. Be carefull I have made many mistakes buying gear unauditioned, almost always a mistake. If you prefer souround sound listen to as many systems as you can and duplicate it as close as you can. little variables( including your room, unfortunately) make a big difference.
