Ohhh there was going to be a merger that didn’t go through in 2019 I guess is what I was thinking of, doh https://www.audioholics.com/news/sound-united-terminates-acquisition-of-pioneer-onkyo

Yeah, I was surprised when I looked it up because I vaguely remembered it happening too. But anyways, I don't think we can say with certainty much about the relative reliability of the new 8k/Atmos receivers yet, because of just how much changed with them compared to the older 4k models.

I have L/R tower speakers (Klipsch VF-35) that I can’t use with the matching center for cabinet size reasons. Do you guys think I’d be better off buying a non-matching Klipsch center channel from a different product line, or spending that same money on the matching surrounds for a 4.0 setup and using a phantom center?

Get the center channel. Unless your cabinet space is seriously limited and you would have to buy a much smaller center channel with less output. If that's the case it probably won't do that much and you should get the surrounds.

If you're using a center is should be the best speaker in your whole system since it will be handling 60-90% of all audio in surround content. It costs you nothing to try phantom center, in a lot of rooms it will be fine but you may have to play with speaker position and angle to get it dialed in.

I’m absolutely willing to spend the money on a better center than my L/Rs. I just don’t know how much different the reference premiere line will sound than the old Icon series in terms of timbre matching. Maybe Klipsch is Klipsch and I’m overthinking it

I endorse Qirex’ position in this matter especially given your setup description.

I personally hate the sound of horn speakers, and vote that this is the perfect time to upgrade away from Klipsch brand.
