If you keep the volume reasonable though, you should be fine.
That's the key.

Starting to think about adding the surround to the tv stereo set. As I mentioned before, it's almost exclusively for movies now, possibly games later as well.
How bad would it be if I added a couple of plastic satellites to the pair of bookshelf speakers I have now? I definitely don't want to get 5 identical speakers for 5.1, this will be a massive waste of money. But I'm curious about the whole surround thing, and how will it improve the overall enjoyment of my "home theater"
I'm just not sure where to start. I'm afraid to ruin everything if rear/surround pair and a central speaker will be badly mismatched to the front pair. Also no sub, low end will be handled by the stereo pair as well.
It's not that bad if rears don't exactly match the fronts. You definitely want your center speaker to match your fronts though.
You could start by adding a set of stereo speakers to the back. You don't necessarily need a center speaker if you don't sit off-center regarding your front pair.
Do you think the receiver will know that central speaker is missing and will mix the signal to the fronts? I need to read the manual I guess...

Aw, these are cute. I want a pair as wall mounted surround speakers 250 ? though, perhaps too much for satellites.
