Some general recommendations to go by since you've given us the basics.
1) Look for something that is relatively efficient. This typically means ported in today's market. 60 wpc coming out of a receiver is not a lot of power when trying to reproduce the dynamics required in most HT systems.
2) Try to avoid metal dome tweeters. I don't think that they blend well with "reasonably priced" receivers and cd players for long term listening. Soft domes are typically a LOT more forgiving and listenable at these price levels.
3) Don't under-estimate the importance of room size and listening distance when looking for speakers.
Hope this helps and good luck. Sean
