Default new speaker setup (mixed components)

Being that I'm slowing upgrading I have a mixed bag of speakers at the moment.

Left-Center-Right are klipsch's RF-82's with high sensitivity level (98db).
surrounds are 10 year-old HTiB surrounds (87-89db if memory serves).

I don't have an SPL meter, but my receiver has an auto calibration (not perfect, but a good start). Will there be any issues because of the sensitivity differences when I run the auto-calibration? Eventually there will be surrounds on par with the fronts but I have to save up some more cash before purchasing.

Also, i'm new to bi-amping. My sub is an onkyo (230w max) and I'm curious if I would benefit from bi-amping these speakers. It'll be a little while until they are broken in (yes I believe in this), so i'm looking for feedback before I start playing with everything myself.

Thanks
