Do the speakers in a surround system need to be in a set? (feddit.nl)

Do I have to buy a set for 5.1 surround audio, or can I just buy 5 speakers and one subwoofer separately to potentially save money and link them to my AVR?

Potentially even the centre channel may be a bad idea - these are frequently lacklustre and do not share the same frequency response as the rest of the speakers in the series

Good video: https://youtu.be/GZrdsxrcpBw

Otherwise yes, ideally you want speakers to have a similar tonal profile
