do I have to match the db level on all speakers?

I have 3 Linn Unik speakers for the back sorround channels (rated at 88 db). For center I have a Linn Trikan rated at 91 db. My fronts are Linn Index rated at 88db (not sure about that). I have nad T753 receiver.
My questions is: do I have to adjust (in my receiver) the back and front channels to +3db in order to gett all speakers to 91db?

I am pretty much on equal distances from each of the speakers (back speakers are closer to the listening position by aprox 2 feet). So I think ideally they all should be at 88db (or at 91db).

I think the distance is one thing and the db rating of the speakers is a completly different thing. The distance alone will be sufficient only if all speakers are the same, otherwise I believe an adjustment has to be made in order to set all channels to the same db level (88db or 90 db).
