You certainly do not need full size speakers for the rear surrounds.
If you chose 800's for the front, you could easily use 805's for the rear surround,
You could even go for the 7.1 style and have four 801's for the rear sets of surrounds.
If like Theo, you will want a wider frequency response (more bass) then I would say 803 for the rear.
Center channel should be the upper quality dedicated center from B&W.
