Back to the days when loudspeaker specs told you everything you need to know; http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/yamaha_ns-1000_loudspeaker/index1.html

Im looking to set up my first 'listening room' on somewhat of a budget though.

I need some help deciding on my speakers. I'm looking at:
Infinity Primus P252
Boston Acoustics CS-226
Polk Audio Monitor 60
Sony SS-F7000

I'm most likely pairing these with a Pioneer VSX-519V-K

Which of these are my best bets or are there any other speakers and/or receivers I should be looking at?

a friend of mine became a legacy dealer this week. he toured the factory and brought home a set of Whispers. I helped him unload so was there when he hooked up his 8 watt custom made Morrow Audio SET mono blocks. If you want to see unusual design in a very large speaker, check out their website. Anyway, right out of the box, the sound was smooth and mellow. Just a little down on bass, but the 8 15" woofers were brand new and it was an SET. I had also brought over an Arcam P80 stereo amp that I no longer use, so we hooked that budget solid state amp up (65w 8ohm, 105w 4ohm).

That was a fun read, Art! I especially like Jeff's illustrations of A.vs.P. ...and the bit about ..er..a being who is a bit like an unwanted relative. "No, I don't know him, man, he's like, from the other side of the family."

I've been playing and listening to music for over 40 years. I played trumpet from grade school through college, and now days sing in an acapella octet. I work as a broadcast engineer, run front of house at a large church, and am the sound chair for our local community theater. My favorite speakers are a pair of home made TQWT's in my office at work, and I love making and using various electronic devices.
