Re: How much to invest in rear channel?

In an ideal world all speakers in a surround home theater should be the same. Many times, however, because of space/budget/WAF factors this cannot be achieved so the closest you can come is the best approach (speakers from the same manufacturer with similiar "house" sound, etc.). The surround information is far less than in the mains but it is designed to add ambiance. In fact you shouldn't even be aware that the surounds are on until you shut them off. Just get them at the same level as the mains (by meter, if possible because by ear you can only get with about a half db). Try to have them at the same height and distance from the listener(s) (this may have to be achieved electronically via the pre/pro). Again, bear the ideals in mind (same speakers, lavel, distance, height) and work toward them in your situation.
