Anyone running this? Would this even be OK?

Thanks

It would be more than OK. It will not be an exact match, but should be fine.

You are coming from all 340SE's up front, which is obviously a great match, you may notice a tradeoff.

If you listen to 2ch music I doubt you will notice with HT. Try it and let me know.:D You can always add a Center Sierra later

I did it for 6 months and eventually went to a Sierra Center and now use the 340SE center as my back center surround (6.1).

Although it sounded fine I never felt the match was right and was constantly adjusting speaker levels. After I installed the Sierra center I could tell a difference right away and have never looked back. I love my 6.1 system!

With which material was the difference noticeable....music, movies, tv...all??

Mostly with music. Now it sounded great and I was probably being picky. I don't know if it was due to the different efficiency ratings or what but I always seemed to be adjusting the sound levels to get a better match.

It did make a noticeable difference to my ears when I picked up the Sierra Center and I haven't adjusted anything for months. From my experience, I would recommend all 3 up front matched if you can afford it during the upgrade. I couldn't and was happy until 6 months later when I could afford to upgrade the center. Now I'm living the dream!:)
