Atmos speakers don't have to be as close a match to your main speakers as say a center channel, especially if they're the up-firing type, so you can go with different brands. Same goes for surround speakers. They just shouldn't be vastly different.
If you put the same speaker in 10 completely different (asymmetrically) spots in your room, because of the acoustics of a small room versus a large theater, it will sound different in every spot. How do I l know? Because my 9 channel atmos system uses the same speaker in every position and when I run Audyssey chirp/pop sounds, the ones on the side walls have a different tonality then the ones on the front wall, and those have a different tone than the ones overhead that are near the center of the room, and those sound different than the ones overhead nearer to the back wall. Lol. When you listen to a speaker in a typical residential room, you're hearing a mix of sound directly from the speaker and the reflections off of all the walls. Those reflections color the tone of the speaker.
If you put those same 10 speakers on stands and put them all around you within say 15' inside of a large theater where the walls were all 50' or more away from you, you'd be hearing way more direct sound from the speaker and very little, if anything from the reflections, so they would all have a very similar sound. Understand?
Just buy the atmos speakers from a place that has free returns and test them out.
I have continued to upgrade for more premium lines and didn't want to build out my entire system around these but that is not to say that they are not very good speakers for what they pretty regularly cost and would make a solid choice for a stereo setup or the foundation of a surround sound setup.
All of that being said, buy from Adorama or somewhere else. There are a lot of people that claim to have good experiences with Woot!. I am just not one of them and continuously warn people away. Just recently, there was a steal posted for some vacuums at an excellent price. I posted the same warning and she enough, several buyers ended up with used vacuums even though they paid for new. Woot! had proven over and over to be a low quality service to sell off counterfeit products and rejects from Amazon. It's a shame it isn't as good as it used to be

I was considering doing this since my room is small and I didn't want to use stands for the surrounds as my son would knock them over. So using towers for the surrounds doesn't impede the front effects at all? Sorry still a novice.
