The sound they produce needs to blend. This is most easily achieved if the speakers use the same drivers , crossovers , frequency response , and materials. These factors contribute to giving the speakers the same tonal quality. That preserves the sound signature no matter which speaker is outputting it. Without this, the audio will lack clarity, uniformity, and consistency. Matching specifications ensures sound passes between the front speakers seamlessly. The result is to enhance rather than detract from your listening experience.
Buying the same brand makes matching specifications a doddle. Take this Klipsch 3. But, you should also look to stay within the same product line where possible. Because often, different product lines within a brand will have different specifications. These speakers play the background sounds and special effects in the movie. So, in some ways, their role is somewhat similar to the front left and right speakers.
Without them, your system would be designated as a 3. So, perhaps we can look at the surround speakers as the extras. Still, the point of surround sound for your home theater is, well, surround sound. Most surround-sound enthusiasts agree it is not necessary to have the same speaker type or even brand when setting up your system, so you can feel comfortable using different speakers in the channel array.
It really comes down to sound quality. If it sounds good to you, then you will be happy with it. There are a few reasons why enthusiasts may wish to use different speakers. You may be slowly developing a surround-sound system from a home stereo system, or you are utilizing older speakers in the array to save money. However, it is very important to maintain a similar wattage as well as timbre matching, at least with your front three speakers.

Home Theater Room Ideas June 8, 0. August 21, at pm. I might do that. I wanted to get the Klipsch R51 because i like their analytical style and easthetics but your review of the Dayton Audio MK as main impressed me so i got a pair of those.
If i add the Klipsch as surround to cover highs and will that be a good match? Also when playing music in stereo will all 4 speakers play the same from the amplifier according to their characteristics of course? Finally can you recommend a good budget sub that i can get in Europe from either amazon. I live in Cyprus which is EU but don't have many online options. Thank you. Why not just get more of the Dayton speakers? They'll match much better than having domes and horns in the same system.
