    No, you want your surrounds to be from the same series as the mains.IMHO unless you are a very uncritical listener, you will be disappointed by the difference in timbre.

    What is the price for these Heresy's? Even if you don't use them in this system, they are excellent speakers which hold value. Paired with a tube receiver and an added sub, they are great for music. Better than those RF-3's even.

    Your surrounds sound will become so outstanding that you will sell your RF3s and RC-52 II and buy three more Heresy as replacements.
