I hope someone could give me an opinion for home theater and the Jbl L100t and L80t3.

I was going to use 2 L100t's for the Front left and right
and then the 2 L80t3's for the center (maybe only 1, depending on the look/sound). For the rears I am trying to pick up some L1's or possibly some newer S36's.

First, will the L80t3's and the L100t's timber match well enough to make a good front set for home theater? I have tried using the new S-Center II and it doesn't seem to match well with the L100t's. (I have to decide wether to buy the L80t3's from a friend or not)

Second, how well does this kind of speaker set do for home theater versus say, a new set in the $1000 range (total, all 5 speakers). Any thoughts? (I am not very impressed with the latest Studio or Northridge Series from JBL).

Is there any difference in design philosophy for HT speakers versus stereo speakers or is it better is better in either case?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
