Which input jacks on my receiver should I connect to?

[CR250]

Thank you all for your input. As long as I get some good sound now, and learn something from the experience, I will have accomplished my immediate objectives. I went ahead and got two used NHT Super One's (not the 2.1 model) for $128 shipped. Now I just gotta pick up the my dac. More powerful, pricier equipment will come later, starting with some BIG speakers:)

 

You're definitely on the path to becoming a true audiophile. New speakers on order and you're already working on the replacements.

 

Jokes aside, the NHT is a good choice for a first speaker. I used to be an NHT dealer myself. Probably their biggest strength is imaging. You can learn a lot about positioning and setup with them, and they work well in rooms that are not perfect.
