ART Arrays are great home hifi speakers. I think they would make fine right and left channel speakers for home theater too. Your idea of a smaller version center channel would probably match well, maybe for surrounds too. I would probably make the center and surrounds as standard two-ways with a single midwoofer and a single tweeter.
As for subs, it depends on what you expect. As you can see in the measured response, the ART Arrays are solid down to 40Hz. That's plenty for many people. Some want an octave lower though, particularly for home theater. If you want to get down to 20Hz, you'll want some subs to fill in the bottom octave.
