Center channel matched with Fronts??

I have the Monitor Silver RS set-up, that is RS8 fronts and RS LCR center, rears RS-FX. I enjoy watching movies,and love the center speaker (good bass for a center this size). The only issue is listening to two channel stereo. RS 8 to forward sounding to my taste as I stated in earlier post.
Question is, how will this work if I keep the center and replace the different brand Fronts ? Possible getting my NHT 2.5i speaker back. I always heard the fronts should be matched? Rears not so much an issue.

Thanks

I bought the RS6 for front L&R and feel they are brighter than I want. I have not bought the rest of the home theater speakers yet. Was thinking of getting the center in either the RS or the Radius 180. Would either work or must I have the silver RS center? For rear speakers I wanted to get something warmer sounding to, hopefully, warm up the general sound. I can't return the RS6's so must keep then for the time being. Was looking at Quad, Dynaudio, PSB, and Era bookshelves in the less expensive lines for my rear speakers. What are some recommendations for warm, smooth speakers and do you think that by having warmer rear speakers, it will warm up the sound and balance out the brightness of the MA RS 6's?

Hey Cfunkster, If you get rid of your speakers, maybe you could sell me your center. I guess that is what I need. I can't get rid of my RS6's, they are only a couple months old, and selling them and starting over is a waste of money. They are good speakers, just not as warm as I would like. They only have about 25-30 hours on them, so I hope they mellow out some.
