The question is about 4 identical speakers (not same manufacturer). I totally agree that getting the same manufacturers speakers is typically a good idea. But I stick by my opinion that in most applications getting 4 identical speakers is not. (Exception would be an avid classical music listener with extensive MCH SACD collection).
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.
