Small Speaker Recommendations Please

My mother needs two sets of small speakers, each will be used along with a Sony receiver and 5 disc CDP. One pair will be used in the living room and will be placed on top of a wall unit. The second will be in the bedroom and placed next to the TV stand on the floor so I could use ones that can be tilted upwards or I am going to buy those cheap wood stands that IKEA sells. I am looking for small speakers that are cheap but sound OK. Did I mention cheap like $50 to $100 a pair.

Thanks for your recommendations.
