Bookshelf speakers and amp recommendations

I currently just have these: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/home_pc_speakers/devices/231&cl=us,en hooked up to my computer playing my FLAC music (sounds pretty good but it's about time for more). I'm looking to start building my first audiophile system and would like some recommendations on speakers. The room I will be living in will be pretty small (small bedroom) so I'm assuming they will need to be bookshelves.

I'm looking to pick up some speakers that sound better than the ones I currently have for a reasonable price. Now I'm not sure if anybody has heard the logitech speakers before but I am actually VERY impressed with the quality of sound they put out.

I eventually want to get a nice turntable but for right now I want to just play these suckers out of my computer or dvd player.

Just looking for some reasonably priced bookshelf speakers and amps that would sound good together.

Any input would be very helpful as I have no idea what I'm doing!

Thanks,
Nick

AudioEngine are really nice active speakers (so they are simple to run off the laptop) at amazing prices. I have the A2 and my Quad 2805s are of course a lot better, but they should be at 40 times the price.

Pick the A2 ($199) or A5 ($349) depending on your budget and space, I think you will be happy with either. Such small speakers do of course have limited bass, but you should be OK with that.

The finish is also really nice, the kind of speaker that a spouse would be OK with.
