Help! Need to find some speakers =>$200 to $250 for bedroom system off Onkyo int. amp

I am going to look into going this route.  Found a nice used Onkyo 8255 integrated amp around $100.  This got me thinking.  Was going to spend $300 to $400 for a powered active speaker system but I am used to more traditonal ways and if I can find a respectably sounding pair of passive speakers (probably used at those prices) might go this way.  I think the Onkyo puts out 50 watts into 8 ohms and they say they'll drive also 6 ohm and 4 ohm speakers.  Very open to some suggestions of brands & models.

These, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002A2RTU/ref=s9_bbs_gw_d3_ir06?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_r=011PW81TNJCDN50MQJ1C&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470939031&pf_rd_i=507846 , $200 a pair there amazing speakers at that price you won't find better, but they are monitors so there netruel sounding, if you want some fun coloured warm sounding speakers then you should look at buying a used pair of cerwins of something.
