5.1 Speaker Setup - Same brand or different?

[sash]

If your needs are mostly movies, you cannot go wrong with Polks. Your choice is good, you should prefer 250c over 150c for center.
RTI series needs better receiver (more powerful) according to Profx.
I haven't heard the Jamo 626 but the 426 was pretty pedestrian and did not impress.

From my experience, as long as the front 3 ie center channel and the front left and right speakers are from the same brand, you are fine. - ie the timbre is matched. You can go for any other brand for surrounds.

I selected my speakers in the following order ( since i wanted a movie setup)

1. Decide on the center
2. Pick up mains depending on the timbre match of the center.
