Not all multichannel music limits the surround channels to ambience. I have TACET CDs of chamber music which assign different instruments to different channels. I realized that I needed to upgrade the surround speakers when the viola had more robust sound than the cello.
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.
