Hi: I don't know if you need to switch speakers, depends on how loud you want it to go... I have found the best way is to set up the rears the same way you would set up the front two speakers, so they image & give a decent soundstage. I also place the rears lower than is generally suggested. The end result is much better sounding in my mind. If you have 2 overlapping soundfields, then you have good surround. Get an Avia or other setup disc and use a soundpressure meter to setup the levels. Makes a big difference.The center speaker is very important, don't cheap out on it. It needs to reproduce dialogue & if it is off you notice right away. Similarly, it is mismatched with the fronts, it come out as not "loud" enough or too "loud".
