Help Match Speakers - RP-160m

[Noob McNooberson]

Hello,

 

I need help matching speakers for 5.1 setup. How would this sound?

 

Option 1:
Fronts: R-820F

Center: RP-440C

Surrounds: RP-160M

Will add Subwoofer at some point. With this setup I'm concerned the center tone won't match the fronts.

 

Or should I cancel my R-820F fronts on order and go with the following:

 

Option 2:

Fronts: RP-160M

Center: RP-440C

Surrounds: RP-160M

Add Subwoofer.

 

Right now I have one set of RP-160M's that I'm using in a stereo setup. I probably have till Monday to cancel my R-820F fronts order if they will not match very well. Option 1 would be the preferred setup if you think it will sound okay. I like my fronts to be more full range versus my surrounds. The R-820F's are on sale right now. That's why I went with them over another pair of RP-160M's. I really love the RP-160M's for their great value. Am I losing anything by going with R instead of RF for the fronts in Option 1? Thank you.

Amazon has the RP-280's on sale now they are a perfect match for the 160's:

The RP's have completely different drivers, construction and Quality.

The RP's are superior to the R's in every way.

I'm running a pair of the 160's as my center channel.

They sound very nice.

RP's over the R series everyday.
