This is so often a snobs arguement. So many speaker use a box, a port, off the shelf drivers so how much at odds would sound be between similar makes and sizes? Could 90% pick a well matched non matching center with a blindfold? Could 50%? Could 20%?
Then you have those who have a "matched" center, yeah its from same company but the drivers arent even identical...huh?
The point is far, FAR more speakers that dont match makers or even drivers can and will work just fine, I have 3 surround systems with 1 correctly matched and 2 not matched but carefully selected, well 1 was lol,if anyone wants to come down and take my challenge I will film it and post on youtube.
Buy what you can or what you want, it will in almost ALL cases within reason work just fine.
