Matching Klipsch Reference and Reference Premiere??

HI, I need expert advice, please!!!

I bought 4 Klipsch R-820F thinking to place them 2 in the front and two as rear speakers. I also bought a Klipsch RP-440C as a center speaker.

I bought all this because of an insane opportunity... "excellent deal"

Now I am reading that it is not a good idea to match/mix Reference (R) and Reference Premiere (RP)?

Would my configuration using the R-820Fs with the RP-440C sound too bad? shall I return the RP-440C to get an R speaker as a center instead?

Thank you so much for all the help and support

His question was what is the difference in the Reference line v Premier Reference line thats what I thought anyway. Thxs Keep rocking.

I didn't say anything about "aligning" speakers. His question was about if it would be a bad idea to mix different lines of speakers, not what the differences are. They're all in the Klipsch family and it shouldn't be an issue. FWIW, I have a Klipsch center speaker and surrounds and Harbeths and KEFs for my mains and mixing the different brands hasn't caused one second of distress for me.

Timbre matching is ideal, but as long as your LCR match, you're good. The other speakers just aren't used enough for you to even tell the difference.
