Rear speakers, generally of lesser quality?

Necessary for Rear speakers to be just as good as the main speakers?   I had some extra main speakers put them in the back of the room. I think they sound a lot better than smaller rear speakers i used in the past.  There is a lot of information coming out of the rear speakers via 5.1 set up. Why go cheap?

I agree it is best to match surround speakers to the main set, just as matching the center to the left and right is important.

Despite this, I have been reasonably satisfied using good quality "full range bookshelfs" for surrounds.  I have had Proac 1SCs and am currently using Red Rose R3s.  They give me decent surround information, although I'm not set for immersion in a helicopter landing.
