The general recommendation is to use all identical speakers for SACD
multichannels though I wonder why you need full range for the rear or
center. Anyhow, depending on your budget. Top priority is front
channel followed by the Center. Get a good subwoofer with volume and
crossover at cut off point of 120hz.

I have just gone in into Multi/surround. and I don't use identical
speakers. I am using my old front speakers for rear and my best for
front(full range) and dedicted center speaker.

IMHO, unless you own a system costing tens of thousand, it doesn't
really matter whether you are using identical speaker or not. Of
course, adjustmnet for various impedence and efficiency of speakers
can be tricky and maybe that's the reason all identical speakers are
recommended.

Having recently installed a new plasma TV, I am thinking seriously of
moving towards a surround sound setup. My cuurent speakers consist of 2
Rogers LS3/5A's plus an Audiopro subwoofer. I would use these both for
video and audio.

In terms of adding a pair of rear speakers and a center channel, I was
thinking of sticking with the LS3/5A's and picking up three more off of
Ebay.

Any reaction to this approach? Or might I be better off flipping the
Rogers to the rear and doing something different for the front?
