Mixing JBL LSR series speakers as a surround setup

[Head-Hunter]

Hi guys

I own a couple of JBL LSR 4328s and am looking to purchase a couple of LSR 305s to go with them. As a surround sound setup. Is their any reason why this might be a bad idea? For example, is it better to pair LSR speakers of the same series for a surround sound setup?

Thanks for your advice.

It is more important for the mains to match. Though it is ideal to match the rears too, the rears are less critical to match to the mains and you can get away with a difference there.
