 I dont think timbre matching is all that important if your AVR has crossover setting adjustments, Ive used lots of different speakers in different places in my HT and find that as long as they are capable of handling the power put to them you can achieve good sound. Also setting all the speakers to the small setting also puts them in step with each other if you do not have the crossover capability. One thing I would say is that if you have horns try to use horns all around. |
Wow! I use speakers as closely matched as I can and recently have been using 5 identical Canton Vento Refs. Even so, there are discernible differences among them when tested with pink noise. This is undoubtedly due to the different acoustical situations that each is in. I shudder to think how different really different speakers will be and how poorly they will image. (Of course, you could argue that, in view of those observations, timbre-matching is pointless but my additional experience has shown me that all efforts at matching are rewarded with better imaging.)
