My advice is really, if this is your first time, stay simple. Stick to affordable full range speakers with limited bass. 2.5 way speakers are ideal. They are unusually efficient, and won't waken the dragons in the lowest octaves.
Think of this as a trial date. Figure out what you like, what you don't like.
Figure out how your room responds.
This keeps all your electronics simple and small. You can go with smallish, great sounding integrateds to anything really.
