Surround speakers should match the tonal balance of the fronts. Not necessary to spend $2k unless you have some outrageous mains. Spend more on the center and save on the surrounds.
Not rocket science.

What surround speakers should I get?
I am making the move from two channel listening. Bought a Marantz sr7001 AV surround reciever. I want to be able to listen to CDs (30%) and watch my big screen in surround (70%). Willing to spend up to $2000 and want to make sure that I buy speakers that are worth the investment. My entertainment room is 26'*20'. I like to listen to the blues loud and watch movies with great sound all around. I've been researching for monthes and am looking for some final knowledgable suggestions.
