you should always try pairing same brand and same model speakers.
Left right and center should have same tweeter and midrange size for better sonics.

Not really.

I would run with a phantom center or go for the infinity rc263 if you have the room for it. Currently using a jbl 520c with my 580s and it's decent if I manually boost it via my receiver. Usually I just run them with the 520 off and because they image so perfectly it sounds pretty nice

I understand that is normally the recommendation, but the general opinion is that the JBL 520c does not keep up with the 590s.
I am not sure if my receiver (RZ900) is capable of running a phantom center. So far I have not found anything about this capability.
As for the RC263, I have read about this as a recommendation in every thread, but it has not been available for quite some time. I have also read about the Emotiva C2+ but their return policy is not that great. The Monolith THX-365c seems to be a great option too, but it is also OOS with an ETA of late FEB 2023.

Looks like it's called center spread on your Onkyo.
That's a common issue with those 5 series JBL's, that very weak center.
Having helped with that dilemma, unfortunately the only good option is the RC263.
Can you get away with the C2 & 365c sure. They would be a much better choice than doing a phantom setup IMO.

This one isn't wall mountable I believe. The larger ones have slots for wall mounting. For this you'd just need a shelf.
It's not that bad honestly. I've owned it for over a year and am pretty happy with it. There's always going to be better options but I wouldn't call it garbage.
I purchased it as a set from Costco. Running the R-625FA mains and R-41M surrounds. I'm very happy with the setup. The surrounds aren't my favorite but still not bad. I upgraded from the Polk Series II speakers. The Polks had a warmer sound but the Klipsch are so much punchier IMO. The irony is that I barely get to push them without pissing off my wife or scaring my dogs haha
