What I think George is saying is the same brand (Example: B&W 600 series 2) will voice (sound) the same all around, because they share the same tweeter, and basic design. This is important to many videophiles.
If one has a choice ; get the same brand as your fronts,by all means. At Audiogon this is posible,yes?
The B&W 602s are very good. They list for $600. If you want to spend $1000 the CDM-1 are even better.
