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 would say that if you feel the speaker is too forward now and you leave the center and replace the L&R fronts.
Make sure you buy a model of speaker that offers a matching center, because you will be back to get it later.
A forward sounding center speaker that doesn't voice/timbre match with the LR's will be in your face. I also agree match the rears, expecially when listening to a DTS soundtrack. All MHO
