In need of a pair of cheap speakers for the bedroom/computer

Wasn't really sure if I should have posted these in computer audio or here.

Hello, thanks to another post that i've found on this site, I've decided on buying this amp:
http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-Tripath-TA2020-Class-T-Amplifier/dp/B0049P6OTI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324107836&sr=8-1

And am considering these speakers:
http://www.electronics-expo.com/polk-m10-bookshelf-speakers - These were the cheapest I could find them at, and shipping isn't a concern since I can just go and pick them up.

I really have no idea what I am doing with speakers, so i'm gonna let you guys do the deciding on whether or not i'm making the right choice.
I'm gonna be using these for movies, music, and possibly gaming.
My music tastes are normally electronic (EDM, hard trance, goa, pop/jpop) but i'm starting to venture more into jazz/vocal jazz.
My budget is around the $60 mark, although I can go for more if it really is a good bang for the buck deal.

If you need any more info from me, just ask, thanks in advance.

Awesome, I was planning on going Dac/Amp RCA -> Speaker Amp & I have some speaker wires ready, so I suppose i'm good to go.

And yeah, I did check on craigslist. I saw a KLH 514S-AW going for only $40, but I can't seem to find any information or reviews on it anywhere other than Amazon.

Welp I am a ****huge idiot wooooo.
Speakers say their W requirement is 120W, but the amp only outputs 20W per channel, how badly is this going to affect my SQ?

It's more a function of their efficiency. If they're efficient, you'll be fine.

^Alrighty, thanks.

Just got the speakers in, I don't have any speaker stands and my desk is full, so I needed to put 'em on the floor.
I'm pretty satisfied with how they sound, I really wanna know what these things sound like when they're ear level now... ;_;
