Snoopydailydall,
We are Kef dealers with the Kef Reference 3, and the Kef Ref 2C center in a dedicated Theater room
Yes you can use the R series center to very good effect it will blend quite well it just won't sound quite as fantastic as the Ref center channel.
At one time we were using the R center before we could swing moving to the Reference one and the theater sounded good, it was quite audible the improvements going from the R series to the Reference especially in clarity.
The new R series is a bit closer to the sound of the Reference.
If you work with a good dealer they would offer to cell you the R series center and take it back for full credit within a year if you were to upgrade which is what we would do.
Good luck if we can be of further assistance please let us know.
