I use this simple experiment to illustrate the need for matched fronts, at the least. Using the AVIA disc, play one of the 5-channel sweeps. on most unmatched systems, you can clearly hear the "blob" of sound transitioning between speakers. With a matched system (especially 5 identical speakers), the sound moves smoothly in a circle.

This is also a great way to setup you soundstage and adjust the level of tilt in you center, using it is above/below you TV, and not behind an AT screen.


I will try this, as that would be a great test.
If I do not notice any ill-effects I think I may just buy the best center I can afford and try to keep the tweeters of the same design at least to aide in fidelity.
