Rule of thump is the front 3 speakers should match. The quintet speakers would be over powered by two big tower speakers. They may work for the short term, but long term plan on getting the proper center. See pictures below of the complete reference vs reference premiere series....notice the difference between the matching center and rears in both series. Having a Rp 450 center in your room will be much better than the small center in the reference series.

Go with the reference premiere line, a 40 x 10 room is not small. The biggest difference is the matching components to the towers are small. For example look at the center and surrounds compared to RP line. Your better off getting the RP260s or RP280s because they have a nice big matching center. Talk to @MetropolisLakeOutfitters He can get you a good deal.

Sprung for the 62s. 620 pair no tax free shipping.
Where is that? I only saw new ones on eBay but they were 395 each?

Short answer yes....
long answer yes....with more detail 😀
The dual 10” woofers have much more bass. The speaker image is larger and fills the room better. Music sounds great, it’s amazing hearing the drums bounce from one speaker to next. Make sure you have enough room to move them away from walls for best sound.

Before I premise this question, wanted to state I love my Oppo 105 and it is not leaving my family room system anytime in the near future. If I want to watch 4K BDs, I move my son's XBox One S to that system.
My wonderful and reliable 10 year old Panasonic DMP-BD30 is a bit dated even though it still "works". By "works" I mean it is slow loading but "properly" plays 75% of the BD movies I put in it's tray. It really struggles with high CGI content and some no CGI content movies. So time for a new 4K player. This is not a music system so no need for a high music quality player.
Any suggestions for under $150.00? I did find this for $99.00.

I I had that Panasonic until I switched to the Samsung UBD8500. It’s much faster and has internet abilities. I can bitstream hd sound to my receive. So far I’m happy with it. Only bad part is the remote ....too small to use. I use my Onkyo remote so it is not a problem. Fast forward takes some time to get used to. My Panasonic was making strange noises and the Samsung is so much faster and worth the upgrade.

What's your room like? Do you have pictures on the walls? Carpet on the floors? Lot's of furniture in the room?
Your room will have the biggest influence on how the speakers sound and speaker placement will make all the difference. Are they up against the walls? How far are they from the side walls? Are there side walls? Etc...!
BTW Congratulations on the new RF7-II's and welcome to the Family! [<

This! Experiment with placement and move them away from side walls.

Do you want to replace your RF-82s? If so, maybe get a new center to match what you expect your new front speakers to be. For example, maybe get a RC-64 II if you plan on getting the RF-7 IIs to match in the future.

Recently watched It 2017 . I'm not a big fan of "jump scare" horror and there is a lot of that in the movie but .
Wow the audio is fantastic ! Actually the whole production is very good . Excellent demo scenes abound .
I love the beginning rain scene !

Beautiful. I believe I got my same setup as you from the same dealer. I’m in awe of these speakers and how much more dynanic they are than my 280’s (which are no slouch). My Marantz SR-7010 paired with the Marantz MM-7055 amplifier makes my jaw drop and puts a huge grin on the face of all my friends who come to listen. I do not regret saving over $800 by not getting the III’s. The II’s are all i could ask for and more.
Yes I saved money by not getting the IIIs. I can use towards a new Marantz receiver! The IIIs in Black looks sharp though.

Thought I would share some new photos....
I feel like I’m in the IMAX with these speakers!

Problem is I haven't heard great things about this center. I've been told a center makes for 70% of the dialogue and sound. How about the 250c?
That’s the main reason I upgraded from my Best Buy Synergy....the dialog from the center was unclear. Once I upgraded the center, I just kept going and upgraded everting to the reference series. I would see if you could demo a RC-62 since they are different series to see how well they play together. Noting is saying you can’t get an RC-62 with your towers, I just wanted to let you know they are different series within the Klipsch line.

This is also news to me. I wish I would of done more research before I went and picked them up from Best Buy but they were on sale and fit my budget. Is there a decent center that does match my towers? Is it an issue with timbre matching or why would I hear a difference? I thought I knew more about home audio but I guess I have a lot to learn.
Yes that is how you get hooked on Klipsch. Best Buy has a sale and you love them....then eventually you you want to upgrade to highest model
Below is the matching center for your towers. The only thing I don’t like about the Best Buy model Klipsch is the matching series (like the center) is a bit small and only one option. But if you look at the reference line, they have more choices and can upgrade to a bigger model if want and are in the same series.
The RC-62 is a great center channel and would be better than the matching one...but I don’t know how well it will match the R-28f towers. I know I had the RC-62 II and the Synergy F3 speakes ( the model before your r-28f) and didn’t like the miss match and eventually got the matching RF-82 II towers.

Hmm, didn't know that about the color. I have two R-28F's that I leave the grills off of. I would prefer it to match. Now to figure out if it does or doesn't match
The R-28f and the RC-62 are from different series. You may hear a difference. One is Best Buy exclusive and the other is a reference line. I noticed a difference going from the old Best Buy synergy line to the reference line.

I see this happening on the Klipsch RF-7 IIs and all of them were shut down.

If I remember, I was trying to convince YOU to take that deal!
The difference between you and me is I didn't tell my wife when I was thinking about buying them. I just made my arrangements and drove to Florida to pick them up. She thinks I went to South Carolina to visit our son, which I did.
Eventually.
I told her the truth, from a certain point of view.
Yes, you snooze you get RF-7 IIs lol

Heckofadeal is right!
Since you went directly from the RF-82 II to the RF-7II, what is your impression of the sound stage difference?
I noticed two things:
1. Bigger sound, filled the room so much better.
2. Bigger, better bass due to the two 10” woofers.
They just fit the room so much better. I have vaulted ceilings and a decent size living room. Plus I don’t have the feeling of ear piercing highs like I did with the 82s. I listen in pure audio mode (no sub) and stereo (with sub) to music and it keeps up with the bass on their own without sub. The drums in money for nothin really hit hard between the speakes (maybe that’s called better imaging ). The color and wood cabinet are real nice also.

To be clear, did you sell the three pieces for $700 total? You made $50 selling them used after buying them new? Wow.
If not, how do you separately value the pair of RF-82 II, and the R-62 II? Just curious about used Klipsch prices.
I just checked Frys and the RF-82 is $360 each for $720 pr and the RC-62 is $330 making for a package price of $1050, new.
Frys had a promo code that reduced the price of the RF-82 IIs to $450 free shipping and the RC-62 II for $200 free shipping. So in total I bought all 3 for $650. Heck of a deal but upgraded to the Rf-7 IIs. I was trying to get the deal you got but took too long to decide/convince the wife. Now I have the RF-7 IIs and happy with them over the RF-82 IIs.

To give you an idea, I recently sold 2 RF-82 IIs and an RC-62 II center for $700 in Florida. Bought them 6 months prior brand new from Frys for $650. I took nice close up picture showing their condition. Got an offer to buy an hour after I listed it

If you say Illinois ....there is a sweet deal on the RF-7 IIIs for $2000 including the center.
