I have one brand of speakers for LCR (B&W 804n and htm2 d2), another for Surrounds and Surround backs (Focal chorus), and a third brand (in ceiling, Monitor Audio cheapest) for top speakers. They are level matched and room correction is applied and when a good mix is played (whether a movie or music) I really don't have a feeling that they are different brands. The sound is full, transitions (cars, helicopters, rockets etc.) from front to rear and back are seamless, in other words, my immersion is complete and i enjoy the content. Would it be better if all speakers were same? Maybe, but it would be very expensive, and i am not sure if it would be justified...
BTW, I remember that there were recommendations for Rears, Surrounds.... to be higher then ear level placed. Ten years ago and more. But when height channels were introduced, recommendations are that bed channels shoud be ear level.
