Markdf,

Match as you refer could be anything, from color, size, appearence, etc. But maybe you are asking about timbre match setup, and here you are looking to have all the same, or as equally as posible, so you can experience a better souround experince. Try sticking with the same brand and same series, try to be as even as you can to end up with a timbre match setup.

Hope it helps,
Pablo

A few words about timbre matching
Another thing to consider--especially if you're buying speakers for a 5.1 surround sound system--is that you'll want to only buy one brand for the whole set. You see, when watching DVDs, often times sounds will pan from one part of the room to another. For instance the sound of a jet flying overhead might begin in front of you in the front left, right, and center channels, but after it passes overhead, it will move to the surround speakers behind you.

If you mixed and matched speakers from various brands (like if you bought JBLs for the front speakers but had nOrhs in the back), the characteristics of the sound may change as the sound pans around the room, since no two brands sound exactly alike.

Fortunately, manufacturers often make various models of speakers with similar components so that they are timbre matched. In other words, the characteristics of the sounds in the different speaker models are the same, even though they may not be the exact same models.
