I really gotta know quick, because I have an old pair of Yamaha's as my surrounds, and I need to buy two rear speakers to complete my 7.1 setup.
There is an E-bay auction going on right now for these speakers and I wanna know if it is important to match rears w/ surround speakers. |

If you're just using it for movies you stand a good chance of acceptable results not using exact matches. In a perfect world all the speakers would be the same on each channel. Realistically, a speaker with similar "timbre" or "tonality" is desirable. Buying the same brand can get you close in many cases and the closer the better but as an interim solution you could use nearly any speaker for surrounds. |

Re-reading your question (watching the NFC Championship game) personally, I'd use the same speakers for the rear and surround channels. |
