Ideally you would go to all of your local audio stores, and listen to as many types of speakers (e.g., ribbon, horn, dome, whatever) as you can find, from as many brands as you can stand to audition, with music with which you are familiar, and with all of the types of music that you listen to (making a CDR for this is a good idea). That way, you get speakers you like, instead of ones I like, or that someone else likes.
Also, if you do want us to make suggestions, you should tell people your budget. It is no use me telling you to buy $10,000 speakers if you only have $300 to spend. And it is good to tell people if you are willing to spend more money in the future, as you can get better speakers for a given amount of money if you are buying fewer of them, and then later, when you have more money, can finish the system. However, it is a good idea to make sure that the front three speakers are voice matched, as otherwise the tonal quality of a sound panning across the front will change and draw attention to the fact that you are hearing speakers rather than a natural sound.
Regarding the receiver, it is a good price for it. If it has all the features you need, then it is likely what you should get.
