Surround sound depends as much on the type/size of your room, as much as the sources. Multichannel music would probably sound best with all the same model speaker, but for home theater, the manufactuer system would be best. Matched sets from the same manufactuer takes a lot of quess work out of setting up the system. A combination system usually means compromise,so which is more important to you. music or movies? It looks like you can order direct from the factory, maybe try different models and return what you don't need.I have gone from direct corner mounted surrounds, to 2, than 4 in-walls, to side mounted box bipoles. Now that I have a HT receiver (Rotel 1055)that can process all sources to 7.1 surround, I am going to try adding 2 bipole in walls that match the sides (as per the manufactuer). I won't know if it is "better" until I try it.
