Would you mix brands in your setup or would you just go for one brand? I'm not aware of a single brand that would be top in every component in your theater.

Absolutely. Some brands do things in a way a lot of people like and are preferred over brand loyalty. Some people will only buy a ________ brand amp or speaker or whatever. If it is a stand alone component sold by itself there is no reason another brands products would be any less compatible with it. There are always exceptions, but there are also standards that if not followed will not make the mfr much money.
If you own a Sony amp, it would very limiting to only consider Sony speakers. It would be counterproductive. People goes with what sounds best.
Things are sometimes built to work with another product thought, so there is no clear answer here. I don't care what brand it is as long as it is good. But when they sell an entire home theater system of 6 really good speakers with an amp for 3000 bucks, I would bet they sound best together.

Actually we didn't acquire all pieces at the same time and kind of added pieces through the years as we could afford them. But it all turned out pretty nice anyway. We've got an assortment of Technics, Sony, Bose, and even Panasonic (oh no, where did that come from?) Anyway, quality is still great. I guess it's just an individual judgement.

Panasonic, unless it is antique stuff is usually junk for one reason. Technics was the audiophile division of panasonic. Technics put their good name on some crap themselves,m so if Technics wouldn't brand it, there is a major problem.
Not really too much related, but it's interesting.
80's + Panasonic brand + Audio ~ bad idea.
It's a shame Technics got away from being the higher end of audio and mor einto consumer electronics, but that was probably the plan...coast off the reputation.
The founder of Panasonic was nuts about audio and created Technics to devote his time to working with audio, rather than worrying about microwaves and televisions and such.

Right now I have a mixed brand but I am working to make it all one brand. I have not had any problems with mixing the brands, but I want it to look a bit better so I'm switching things out little by little to be 1 brand.
