Which of these speakers are the best? What are the differences between them?

Polk FXi30
Polk RTi4

Infinity Primus 250
Infinity Primus 160

Bose 201 Series V

I will be using them for classical music, mostly.

Best regards,

Richard

What is your budget?
What is your amplifier?
Do you plan on using these on stands or in a bookshelf or are
small towers also an option?

IMO, these are all basically like comparing which brand of
econobox is best - A Hyundai or Kia or a Daewoo. You can
do much better if we know these three basic criteria.

My budget is $400.00.

My receiver is Yamaha HTR-5230 (60 w/ch).

Stands, bookshelf and towers are possiable.

Sorry about the name, my newsletter program went crazy and set my name to
the default "Jon Smith".

Good. Your receiver is decent enough and with $400, you could
get a decent pair of speakers. www.audiogon.com routinely
lists Tannoy MX4 towers new for about $400-$450. Used, you
can get something much better for $400. I'd stay away from
EBay and search Audiogon for a few weeks. Used also allows
you to haggle some and saves you tax.
