I went this route.
Front: 2x B1.2
Center: 1x C1.2
Surround: 2XB1.2
Rear: 2x Old Onkyo Surrounds
Sub: SVS PB10
Receiver: HK 435? Number may be off...but it's the 400 model.
I'm very happy with the result. When I have it cranked you really get the movie surround effect.

I also have a similar setup, but got the Athena R1.2 for the surrounds and am using the Onkyo surrounds for the L&R back surrounds since they rarely get used. I got the HK 235 AVR and SVS PB10 sub. The difference in sound over the Onkyo HTIB is quite dramatic. The soundstage becomes wider and deeper with this setup. The bass is deep and clean, and the dialogue coming from the C1.2 center speaker is crisp and fuller sounding. It's also a warmer sound thanks to the HK 235, which uses an analog amp.
No disappointments here.
