What reciever should I buy for my home stereo?

Ok...so i am stating my ignorance up front, I know nothing about audio, but I am interested in getting a new reciever for some speakers my dad gave me. The final plan is to put them in my dorm room next year. My roommates are in there now, so i won't have them next year.

Here is what i have:
2x - Bose 301 Series II (One left, and one right)
2x - Design Acoustics PS-10.

I know almost nothing about the Bose pair, but the PS-10's have some info online, and here is what I know:
-1 1/8" poly dome tweeter (hole dia: 3")
-5" mid, treated paper cone/rubber surrounds (hole dia: 4.75", sealed sound tube: 4.75 dia x 6" deep)
-10" woofer, paper cone/foam surrounds (hole dia: 9.125", mount depth: 4" max, sealed cabinet: apx 10.25"x11.375"x12.5" (minus internal sound tube)

- Frequency response: 48hz-22Khz
- X-over: 190hz, 2.4khz
- Impedance: 8 ohm nom./5.6 ohm min.
- Sensitivity: 90db

*NOTE: i just wrote all that, and I have no idea what it means.

***NOTE: I don't want to get something that is awesome, I just want something that I can hook all this up to and use inputs on the reciever for my computer, a CD player, and the tv/dvd player.

I hope someone out there has some knowledge on this subject and can help me with this.

If I were you, I would get one of these, or this, or this, or maybe even this.

Nice try david, but i cannot get XM radio in the dorm room, there is a roof in the way of the signal. I know this because my roommate has it, and he cannot get a signal. And I plan to live in the same dorm next year.

I'm a big fan of Pioneer, Onkyo, and Denon. Looking at those speaker models, they're pretty old (and huge! 4 floor-standing speakers in dorm!?). I'd take a look for older Denon or Onkyo models on ebay. If you're going to be using those older speakers for a while, I probably wouldn't buy a brand new receiver since the cheaper one's aren't very good and a more expensive one would probably be overkill.

"HUGE" Your telling me! haha. Yeah, i got another tip on getting a Denon. I guess my question is, what kind of power do i need/not need with what i have?
