Leftover Sony speaker for rear surroung-from old mini system

Sony 7.1 Dolby Digital and DTS receiver 110x7 with 110x2 (for second room option)
Sony speakers all around, some big, some small, I don’t remember much about them. 150w 12” sub
Toshiba progressive scan DVD, and 27” TV

Not what I really wanted, but it certainly does the job.

1958 Philco Predicta with busted sound for monitor.

1961 Sears Silvertone cabinet model with busted picture tube but good sound for receiver.

Does this count as "home theater?"
