I have a question regarding mixing and matching speakers (same manufacturer). I’ve got a 5.1 setup through a Marantz NR1501 slimline receiver (http://us.marantz.com/us/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=AVReceivers&ProductId=NR1501). Currently, I’m running a KEF iQ60C center channel (http://www.kef.com/gb/loudspeakers/q-series/iq60), two old but quite functional KEF q50 tower speakers (http://www.kef.com/history/en/1990_1/q_series/q50.asp) for front left/right, and two KEF KHT 5000 speakers (http://www.kef.com/gb/surroundsound/kht/5000) for surround left/right. I’m also running a 12” BIC America sub. I have two extra KHT 5000s that I was thinking of using for front left/right instead of the q50s. Does anyone have any sense of whether I’m better off sticking with the tower speakers instead? The KHT 5000s come as a 5.1 package bundle (literally 5 of the same speaker and one sub), so I assume that the 5000s will be perfectly functional as front speakers, but I don’t know whether I’ll get better sound with the larger q50s. Or, on the other hand, will I get better sound from four identical speakers plus the upgraded center speaker? Finally, how serious of a problem is it that the q50s are 6 ohm impedance, but I think my receiver should be used with 8 ohm speakers? (I thought about setting up all of these speakers into a 7.1 system but I just don’t have room. Maybe someday...)
