Hi there, I would like to add to my current 2.1 setup, and have a few questions as to what to look for.

Firstly should I be buying a centre speaker from the same brand or family as my fronts? Kef C5's.

Is it ok to use a different brand? If so how can I go about selecting the right type of speaker?

I am very limited budget wise, and shopping on Trademe. We are in the middle of a few of DIY projects on the house that consume most of my budget.

Any advice appreciated
