    Welcome to the forums! 

    Since you already have the RC-64, I would say go with the RF-63 or RF-83 for your fronts.

    BTW, it's Heresy.  Hershey is a candy bar.  Big Smile

    Welcome to the forums.

     

     If you want to keep the Reference center, you should probably match it with Reference mains so the timbre matches, the Reference folks can fill in the details.  I'm enjoying my Heritage HT setup, but I already had a pair of Klipschorns.  Heresy's and La Scala's are Heritage, 2 or 3 LS or 2 LS and a Heresy or two would make a nice Heritage 2.1 setup especially since you have a sub.

    Welcome to the group.  Match your center up if you can, but I have run multiple center channel set ups and don't believe that it's as critical as some may say.  IMO if you're into audio, you want your mains to be something that you really enjoy first.  You have a great sub, let me know if it's too big for your set up, I want another one.Big Smile
