I cut down my post...
basically I would like to do the LCR speakers with Triad's but don't know if it is worth it if I put a different brand speaker on the rears, I know I don't want to pay the extra $$s for Triads in the rear.
Also any comments on Speakercraft vs. Tru Audio vs. Paradigm, the product and price range all seem very comparable. I think it is my best bet if I don't go with triads for the LCR speakers to have all five speakers with the same manufacturer (ie timbre matching). I think I am leaning towards tru audio currently.
The various suppliers I have spoken too all say bad things about competing products which I think is poor taste and makes them less trustworthy.
