What speakers work well with Arcam Solo 5.1 amp

I do not know anything about stereo equipment. Just that I have the Arcam Solo 5.1 surround sound system, and I  would like to learn what speakers, in the mid price range or used, would work well for it. I would really appreciate any help. Music is my passion first and foremost. I like it crazy loud at times. And so that's about it. The sum total of my knowledge. I dont know about amps, receivers, or tweaking components, woofers or anything else. Is there someone who could point me in the right direction, thank you, Kesha.

Info, not sure if it has any answers:
Key Features•Slim-profile DVD/receiver combo •50 watts x 5 channels •Inputs: 2 HDMI, 2 component-/composite-video; IR in (2-zone); 12-volt trigger; RS-232; port for optional iPod dock or cable •Outputs: HDMI, component-video, composite-video, IR, 5 analog preouts •FM/AM tuner with 30 presets, RDS •17.3 x 3.1 x 14 in; 23 lbTest BenchThe Solo Movie 5.1 measured well in almost all regards. Power was generous for a 50-watt x 5 design, and it had no trouble producing 71 watts with all channels driven. Noise and distortion were excellent on the digital-input tests (stereo PCM and Dolby Digital) but didn't improve much with 96-kHz/24-bit PCM sources. With the Arcam's merely average analog-input (stereo) noise performance, this suggests that its analog output circuits are the limiting factor here.

Hello Rodge, thank you for your input. I'm thinking to start with 2 speakers, eventually adding in more.

I have the ARCAM SOLO NEO as a 2.1 channel rig as my “C” system.
My speakers for it.... both highly recommended.

TANNOY REVOLUTION DC6 stand-mounts
REGA RX1 stand-mounts ( current fave...)

In either option, I added a quality build subwoofer through its pre-amp outs with fine results.

Hello akg_ca. Thank you. I dont know about watts and ohms, but the above information seems like the watts and ohms can vary depending on how many speakers are in use. Do I need to know this go be able to find the right speakers. What kind of subwoofer would you suggest. I'll research the speaker brands. Thanks again for your help, Louise.
