If you want specific recommendations for speakers, you might want to tell us what country you are in (there is no point in recommending things that you cannot get wherever you live), and the price you are looking to pay, whether you want to buy new or used, whether you care about their size or how they look, the kind of music you listen to (and whether you like it really loud), etc.
But I will throw out a modest suggestion; if you live in the U.S., you can (as I type this) get the Polk RTiA1 for $229.20/pair:

You can read a review of these speakers here:

You can also search online for more reviews. If I were buying a new speaker today at that price point, that is what I would buy.
I personally recommend the cherry finish rather than the black, but that will not affect the sound. (It is a real cherry finish, not vinyl, and looks very nice for a speaker at that price.) You will want to stick them on stands rather than on the floor, and, of course, you can get better speakers if you spend more money.
I am guessing, based on the receiver you have, that you are not looking to spend more money. But if you do, then I will be happy to suggest something better.
If you want to spend less than that, I would recommend looking for used speakers. Just make sure you listen to them first and make sure they play loud and clear before handing over your money. And, of course, you might find better used speakers at that price point, but I do not know what you will find locally where you are, because I don't know what city you live in. The advantage to new is that you get a warranty and they will be in good condition.
