Thanks Buckey. Thats kinda what I was wanting someone to say. I just hope your right. Have you heard both the Synergery and Reference, ever heard them together? It would cost me just as much to send the RC-62 back and buy a new C-3 as it would to just keep the RC-62. So, in that regards, cost is of no importance; I'll be paying the same for either speaker. Its just a matter of which one would sound best with my system. I watch movies and play video games 75% of the time, the other 25% listening to music. BTW, I work in Columbus; live a couple hours south of there. Go Bucks! Beat the Tigers, huh.

Thanks for your imput. The klipsch mini-system that I added the F-3s to are Synergy as well (sub and rear speakers). I've learned that the front 3 (center and 2 mains) are the most important to match up but what about the rest of the system? I got a good price on the F-3s: $220 each; I think retail is in the ballpark of $450. So, since the sub and rears are synergy, do you still think I should try taking back the F-3s for the Reference series or just bite the bullet ($100) and return the RC-62 center and order a C-3 off Best Buy.com (I think thats the only place they are available). SO, I definately should NOT keep RC-62 and match it with the F-3s right (Synergy Mains with Reference Center)? Will it really make that big a difference? Thanks again.

1st post; any help is appreciated. Black Friday sale @ Best Buy I purchased a pair of Synergy F-3 speakers to upgrade a small Klipsch mini system I'd bought a couple years ago. I like them a lot and thought, what the heck, I'll buy a nice new center channel to finish things off (already had a good synergy sub and 2 small rears). Well, last night I did a little research and thought the RC-62 was the way to go. It was a little pricey but with what I'd read (70% of movie's dialog/soundtrack come through it...) this was the one speaker to splurge on so I ordered one. Well, I was bored @ work today so I thought I'd read a little about my new speaker and now I'm scared to death. Something about timber and how my Synergy Mains wont sound right with my Reference Center... Well, I called the company to cancel the order (convinced I should have gone with the Synergy C-3 center channel). Well, my RC-62 had already shipped. It will cost me $100.00 shipping and re-stock fee to send it back! SO, HERE's MY QUESTION: Should I keep the RC-62 or return it and get the C-3 (realize this will cost me another $100.00 over the price of the C-3? Will the difference in Timber (whatever that is) be so great between the RC-62 and my Synergy F-3s that things will sound off? I have no plans to upgrade in the future as this system is plenty for me. I just thought that by getting a Klipsch center channel everything would be ok since all speakers are the same brand. I didnt realize this home theater thing was rocket science. THANKS for any comment or suggestions.
