I have disappeared down a home-theater-speakers rabbit hole these past few days. As usual, my situation is complicated by my extremely inconveniently shaped room and furniture, my existing equipment, and (poor me, I know) my access to deep discounts on a few specific brands.

I keep asking myself which speakers will work well, don’t cost a lot, and will actually fit and sound OK in the insane places I have to put them? Round and round I go…

Do any knowledgeable folks have an opinion on mixing speakers from different brands or product lines in a multi-channel home theater setup? Everything I’ve seen has warned against it (mismatched timbre, etc.) But having to stay within a single brand/line really makes this puzzle even harder to solve.

Oh, and if anyone reading this has the inside track on one of those aforementioned “deep discounts” on the SVS brand in particular, I’d love to hear from you…

@siracusa see, you’re going about it all wrong. First build the home theater setup. Then build a room around it. Then build your home around that.

@atlauren @siracusa Don’t forget to find your the next home location for when you upgrade the theater.
