Timbre matching +1

Hi everyone,

I have the Monitor 70's and the CS2 up front and was given as a gift some RTI A1's that I was going to use as the back surrounds and then get some in-wall side surrounds to match the RTI's. Am I wrong in thinking that the surrounds don't necessarily need to match the fronts?

Also, I have my center speaker in a cabinet right under the t.v. I just read that the back vent shouldn't be enclosed like that. Makes sense but I'm wondering how open does the back need to be. I'm thinking about wall mounting the t.v. and then putting the center right under the t.v. Does this pose the same venting issue problem that I already have?

Thanks for all your great help to new people. You're all very kind.
