Can I use home theater speakers for live sound? What would be the disadvantage?

I play folk music live (i.e. no big bass sound). I hate lugging my big speaker cabinets around. I was considering using home theater speakers instead, something like the bose 301s.

Can anyone shed some light on whether this would be a good idea or not? My amplifier puts out only 200 watts.
Thanks, Dan. Can you recommend any 8-inch models?
