<p> I am on the hunt for new speakers. My 8 year-old Logitechs half-broke, and now it is painful to listen to. I'm wanting to go the passive speaker+receiver route, and I am quite lost. I have an old RCA receiver that I'll link below. I need you guys to tell me if I need to get a new one to run the speakers or not. I'm running an Asus Xonar STX in my computer if that makes any difference. </p><p> </p><p> Here's a list of the ones I'm considering. Feel free to make other suggestions, just try to stick to <$300 for the pair.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/BOSCS26IIB/BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-CS26-Classic-II-Bookshelf-Speaker-Each-Black/1.html"><span id="brand" style="font-size: 11px; color: rgb(109, 109, 109); font-family: tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.65625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">BOSTON ACOUSTICS</span><span style="font-size: 11px; color: rgb(109, 109, 109); font-family: tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.65625px;"> </span><span id="model" style="font-size: 11px; color: rgb(109, 109, 109); font-family: tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.65625px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">CS26 Classic II Bookshelf Speaker Each Black</span></a></p><p> $64.99 each</p><p> </p><p> </p><h4 style="border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(109, 109, 109); font-family: tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.65625px;"> <a href="http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/BOSHS225MDNT/BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-HS225-2-way-LCR-Speaker-Each-Black/1.html"><span id="brand" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">BOSTON ACOUSTICS</span> <span id="model" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">HS225 2-way LCR Speaker Each Black</span></a></h4><p> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">$89.99 each</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><h4 style="border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(109, 109, 109); font-family: tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18.65625px;"> <a href="http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/TEACLSH265/TEAC-LS-H265-2-Way-5-1/4-in.-Bookshellf-Speakers/1.html"><span id="brand" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">TEAC</span> <span id="model" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">LS-H265 2-Way 5-1/4 in.

Is there a benefit to getting floor standing over bookshelf for a 2.0 music setup? There are a TON of both bookshelf and floorstanding on Newegg that are discounted, and some of the open-box ones are being sold for really cheap. Any suggestions on Newegg ones would be great.</p><p> </p><p> Here's the receiver I have:</p><p> </p><h1 class="parseasinTitle " style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; line-height: normal;"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/RCA-RT2300-Home-Theater-System/dp/B00000J07I"><span id="btAsinTitle">RCA RT2300 Home Theater System</span></a></h1>
