wuzzzer: good idea.... thanks. I'll keep an eye out. Does anyone have experience mixing the new surrounds (RS-52) with the older reference (RF-3) towers? Are you satisfied with tonal balance? How about in walls (R-5800) as rears with the old reference towers? thanks for all input.

I have a set of Klipsch speakers i bought in 1999. RF-3 pr, RS-3 pr, RC-1 & KSW-12. I am planning to upgrade my system to 7.1 & want to retain my current spkrs for economic reasons. My question is... Will the Timbre match nicely if i a) move the RS-3 to the rear wall & purchase some new RS-52's for the side walls? I went to my local HT dealer that carries Klipsch but they didn't have ANY new surrounds up to demo (i know, cheesy, huh!?). thanks for any and all comments.
