The most important thing to listen for is dialog intelligibility, NOT explosions or car chases. All the speakers in a Home Theater should ideally be from the same manufacturer or at least "voiced" the same so that pans and other movement is perceived as "seamless. All speakers should be set to the same level, except for the sub woofer. And all five (or six or seven) speakers should be equi-distant from the "sweet spot" where the listener/viewers are to be located. Your dealer can help you with matching the speakers to the amplification.
