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?

From what I've heard, it might be a good idea to match the front and centre speakers, while surround and rear matters less. I think the theory is that there shouldn't be any noticeable change if sounds move around in the scene, but I don't know if it's actually a problem in reality.
