    While surrounds aren't as important as fronts, I think you will notice a severe difference in sound quality between the front stage and the rear, as the two lines have completely different types of drivers. While it is better to run 4 Ohms in the front only with a lesser receiver, if you have the proper amplification (and budget) for LSi all around, it would be better. Still, as with most of us, you can upgrade in stages. Try it out with the 8's. If it doesn't bother you too much, you can upgrade the rears later on.

    No,
    as noted above, i'll add that I personally wouldn't mix speakers as well as speakers with different ohm loads unless you have a really good amp that can play nice in this setup. Then the tone factor comes in and I wouldn't do it.
