What do you mean you can't find floor speakers anymore? They still exist and in plentiful numbers. When was the last time you got out of your bedroom? JK:-)

What is your budget? Bookshelf speakers will work.

Your speakers are probably blown because of old age and not because of the wattage. It is best right now not to worry about those numbers. It will be easy to match up your old reliable with todays speakers.

Again, budget?

i use the stereo system only late at night and in the mornings. my budget is under 200.00. and you are right. they are dry rotted. woffers are fine. but mids and highs are blown. giving a slightly distorted sound. i have looked at circuit city and crutchfield. all i can find is towers or bookshelf speakers. cc told me i needed a sub with the towers. its 2 channel not 6!! so that want work..

A sub is do-able as long as it has inputs for plain speaker wire on the back, and a corresponding set out outputs which can then be hooked to your mains. For under 200 bucks I would suggest the (bookshelf) Cambridge Soundworks Model Six. You can pick it up for 99 bucks and even cheaper on ebay. It can go pretty low on its own (down to 40-50Hz or so) as long as it is placed next to a wall, but the price leaves room open to buy a cheap sub too.

The sales rep is just trying to sell you more than what you need. A sub would be nice but not necessary with your listening habits.

Check out this company. The first place I'd go for budget speakers.

the AVF-3 should fill your needs.
