Q: Is it a good match (Timbre) to use R 52 C along with R-820 Fs which is currently being used as a front speaker (and R41M will be used for surround)?

A: Yes! This is actually the center speaker that will match the R820F Reference speakers. I have the R620Fs (I just didn't have room for the bigger size of the R820Fs) and together they sound great! Using the R41Ms as surrounds is also a great recommendation.

Q: How tall is the speaker housing

A: 8 inches is not correct. The speaker housing is 7 inches tall without the rubber feet installed. With the rubber feet installed it sits at 7.25 inches tall.
