budget speakers for Musical Fidelity A300 ?

Hi guys... I am a newbie about to dive into the world of hi-fi.
Which speakers could I happily marry with a musical fidelity A300 ? (150 wpc). I am on a tight budget, looking to stay under $600 a pair. My music is extremely eclectic from electronic to jazz, rock, classical, spoken word so I am looking for something pretty neutral. It is too early for me to be able to express a particular taste...

My space dimension-wise is on the threshold between bookshelf/tower speakers so both could be appropriate, and I do not expect to use all the amp's power before moving to a larger place.
Thanks for your help!

Thank you for all the tips! Very helpful. I am certainly looking at buying used to get something nicer. Not planning to run subs or center speakers.
I have not found leads for Vandersteens 1c's yet but there are several 2c's here at possible prices (not sure of the version differences, 2ci vs 2ce). I will dig into learning more about monitors also.
Is it ok to run speakers rated for 80W (1c's) through the 150W amp if I never go past 50 percent volume ? :)
