PRE and AMPS same brand ? or different brand?

Is it better to buy let's say a Bryston pre amp and Bryston's amps than to mix companies like using a Classe pre and a bryston amp ?
I've heard few people in here talking about special synergy going in between same company products... i can easily think that a certain company designs all their products to be used together and work well together so this could in fact enhanced the sound reproduction quality of the equipment if they are all matched..

isn't that what people call a balanced system ?
what some are really trying to achieve, to have a system that works all well together ?
so it would be just simpler to listen, choose a company from wich u like the sound, and then buy the products line ?

i would like to have comments on that please..

thank you :)

So i should do as i wanted to and start with all bryston components then ..

the only problem i have there is the $$$
used bryston amplifiers are ok on the price factor..
but i wanted to setup a small home theater system..and they only offer one pre/processor that is really out of my price range for this kind of components ( SP1 wich seem to be a really nice product combinning bp25 annalog and new dts circuitry )

should i get 2* bryston 2B briged in mono ( 200 W @8ohms)
or get a bryston 3B ( 125W * 2 i think ) ??

i would like to get a nice 4B ST but this is also out of price for me even in used sales..

thanks for the inputs neway :)

thank you for the help again ..

i have somewhat a problem starting with a preamp and that is, i want to get something that will be HT compatible..and there isn't a lot of choice in nice sounding preamps/processors..and they are not affordable for me at the moment, and won't be until some time ..

maybe i should just get a nice stereo setup that will sound good cause neway my gears will be sued 80-90% of the time in stereo .. and forget about the HT for now ( i don't have a lot of place in my room neway. .)
i think i'll get HT for my parents in the living room,and just get a dam nice stereo setup for me in my room :)

i was going to buy ( with there money..not mine ahah )
them a Nakamichi Soundspace 11, but after browsing through here, i think that with the same money involved, one ca get a better system with sound that will be more alive..

what are your thoughts on a complete nakamichi soundpsace system for HT use ? it's supposed to be all balanced rightly to work together .. but i fear about the performance/$$$ factor ..

thanks..
