So basically I've had this hand me down Sony reciever and two bookshelf speakers for 5 years now (believe it or not, they were purchased in 1982, I think it is the first year the CD was made, LOL), but the speakers finally blew and I'm looking for an upgrade to go with the 42" LCD LG HDTV I just bought. I listen to lots of music, I mean lots, everything from Metal to Rock to Rap. I also watch alot of sports and play a lot of XBOX 360 (when the lady lets me!).

My question depends on whether or not the receiver is still serviceable as you can imagine, but for discussion's sake, let's assume it still works good enough that I can upgrade that later.

I am looking to buy either two good floor speakers, which I imagine would mean that I do not need to purchase an additional subwoofer right away, or two good bookshelf speakers, which means I would have to buy a subwoofer.

My budget for these speakers is in the $300-$400 range right now, which I imagine could get me something serviceable. Any suggestions? I found a pair of Premier Acoustic PA-6F floor speakers for $300. Those any good?

Appreciate the help guys!
