I have these speakers http://fluance.stores.yahoo.net/fluanceavhtb.html but I need a receiver. I don't want to buy one online though without knowing for sure that it will be compatible with these speakers. Power ratings, connection types, and compatibility is seeming very daunting. Any suggestions?

The specifications are all listed on the manufacturer's website http://www.fluance.com/fluanceavhtb.html
here. I'd like to use it for music in many formats. mp3, cd, am/fm and phono. I have the necessary mp3 and phono adaptions all using rca jacks as their output type.

Actually the only thing you need to worry about is the impedance of the speakers. These are 8-ohm speakers so any AV reciever will drive them with no problem. The only other issue is the power of the amplifiers. Since these are bass-reflex design, they are pretty efficient, so I think you should get by with 80w per channel (main front) the others can be 35W. There is no subwoofer, the bass will be carried by the two front speakers. At some time you may want to add a subwoofer for the very low frequency effect (LFE) on some movies.
Most speakers and AV amplifiers have combination binding-post/banana plug connections. I wouldn't worry about connectors--just put the bare wires into the binding post and tighten.
Recommended brands of AV receivers: Denon, Yamaha

You sure have the "cart before the horse". Most people would have the "receiver" first and then want to match speakers to "IT".
Since you have given no specs for the speakers, there is an infinite range of "receivers" that could be used. Are you looking for a short wave radio, AM/FM,HiFi??? Home entertainment center??? TV,DVD, etc.???

Some excellent choices are from Outlaw Audio, Pioneer Elite, Onkyo, Harman/Kardon, Denon, Marantz, Sony ES, and Yamaha.
My favorite choice is by Arcam.
Cabling is also an important item for improved performance.

Looks like just about any receiver should work with your speakers , it need at least 20 watts of power to effectively use your speakers, and don't buy a receiver that has more than 100 watts per channel or you'll blow out your speakers. Stick with a name you a familiar with, check out it's features and make sure it will do what you want to use it for. You can contact me if you want me to throw out brand names.
