Timbre matching...only important for music?

Sometimes speakers can complement each other by adding another layer of acoustical depth by the fact that they are different.

I disagree with this statement. If your target is a euphonic effect, perhaps, but if your target is accurate reproduction, it is an entirely wrong approach.

But, "I wish you pleasing sound all around," too.

I agree with Kal 100% on this. You can say "sometimes" something will happen that someone will like under some conditions. If you want to get the best results overall for them most material, removing variables and maintaining consistency is important.

Like I said before, most people simply underestimate the value of matching speakers because they have never lived with properly matched speakers.

I guess we can agree to disagree, Ive had matched systems and I was so impressed I broke them up and sold some of them off. I had Klipsch Cf-2 mains a Kv-4 center and CF-1 in the rear. I now have the CF-2 still as the mains and the KV-4 as the center, but now have Yamaha NS-15 as rears and Ego's as the sides.
