I still think it's best to have all identical speakers, but if you have to have the rear different from the front, the rear should be a bit more laid back and less bass output vs the front so the rears won't call attention to themselves.
Purpose of using same speakers for surround?
So, I'm wondering why I've heard it is best to have 4 identical speakers for fronts and surrounds? Since the rear (or surround) speakers are only giving out a limited amount of information to fill in details, I see no real reason that any reasonably competent speaker that reproduces down to 80hz wouldn't be just as effective?
In my case, I have been using matched Mirages across the front, with a pair of Pardigms for the rear. I keep thinking about wanting to get another set of Mirages for the rear, but unless there would be some marked improvement, I don't see the point?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
