Buying some speakers for my Yamaha RX-V861 7.2 channel Receiver

[gene]

Hello folks. Newbie here. I'm not super smart when it comes to home theater systems so please bear with me. I just bought this receiver for $100 locally and now I just need to get 2 floor speakers and 1 sub. My question is, what kind of speakers as far as specs (wattage, impedance, etc) should I get for this receiver? Anything you would recommend somewhere between $400-$700 new/used? I see a lot on bestbuy but I am not exactly sure which ones have great reputation and real reviews from the experts here. I will be using the system for music streaming from my phone/ipad (bought a bluetooth adapter) and also for movies (4k Visio TV). Thank you folks in advance!

Here are the specs online for my receiver:
POWER OUTPUT:
100 W (20 Hz - 20 kHz, 2 channels driven @ 8 ohms, 0.09% THD)
110 W (1 kHz, 2 channels driven @ 8 ohms, 0.9% THD)

DYNAMIC POWER:
140 W @ 8 ohms
180 W @ 6 ohms
210 W @ 4 ohms
250 W @ 2 ohms

Stick with 8 ohm rated speakers. That particular Yamaha doesn't play well with 4 ohm speakers.

No experience with BA, but they generally have a good reputation....I think one of the guys who writes articles here occasionally used to work there?....going blank on his name....think he's got a book for sale there was a recent article about....

I finally remembered....Steve Feinstein was the guy I was thinking of https://www.audioholics.com/authors/steve-feinstein

I found this, too https://rslspeakers.com/downloads/RSL 3600 late brochure.pdf

The current version of RSL might be worth a look, too https://rslspeakers.com/ and there are reviews of their stuff here on AH, too.

Yep...RSL is one of the best lines for the money you can get.
Exceptional quality components and cabinets.
I have 3 CG25's and a pair of CG5's, all in gloss white.

What they have done with the new CG3 line is move away from the gloss cabinets that had to cost a fortune to make.
Probably we will see a new CG5 line to follow.

Guys, for subwoofer, what do you think of the SVS SB-1000 PRO 12 inch? It is $599 right now but I got a deal for $375. Should I grab it for that price? or is there another sub you would recommend for that price? Looking for a 12 inch sub. thanks!
