So what floor standing speakers would you recommend? Also an amplifier? Between $200 - $300 is my budget.

For your budget you may as well buy some decent ear buds and forget all about it till you've got at least $700
Sony sscs3, you might find a deal somewhere for your money,

You may well do actually
It's going to be like being in a pub basically
you're going to have a hard time even finding quality bookshelf-sized speakers for 200 bucks
Tibo edge 200
It's a megablast

then what?

Whatever you find in a thrift shop or flea market in your area. Try to avoid black plastic crap from the 80s, consider obscure brands only when all is fine, weigh in hands - generally the heavier the amp, the better. Speakers: knock on the boxes, if they make boom boom instead of knock knock, leave them. Also pass those with blown tweeters or bass, they`re not for you yet. ALWAYS try to negotiate prices. Buy, bring home, set up, listen, decide whether you like it or not and why. Repeat if necessary, sell excess inventory.
> I could have a lot of fun with $300 in a place where are thrift shops, always fucking jelly when see what Americans and Canadians dig out in their junk places.
Where are you from btw?
Just get a pair at a thrift store then save up for some really good ones. You're not going to be happy with $300 floor standing speakers.

the sad truth
Don't spend anything less than $500 on a floorstanding system (receiver included) or $300 on a bookshelf system (which may need stands if its not on your computer desk).
That said you could get entry level Pioneers or the Micca Mb42xs and be very satisfied.
Or you wait and step up to Ascends, Emp Teks, Cambridge Audios or Infinities, floor standing or shelves. Pair with a Topping, Dayton, or SMSL T-Amp or a Yamaha, Onyko, or Sony receiver and you'll do good out there.
Don't forget about DAC. You'd be hard pressed to find a better value than a $50 Hifime Sabre DAC, if it's going into an Amp. Everything between $50 and $200 sounds exactly the same, some are just built better and have better features.
I have a 28 dollar mini Sabre DAC that I can hardly tell apart from my Schiit Modi 2 Uber. Both are clear, but the Sabre is unforgiving of low quality source.
If I were starting over I'd do this at your budget
>$47 hifime sabre DAC, into $120 powered Miccas
or
>$57 async hifime sabre DAC, into $90 Topping tp20, into $90 passive Miccas (I'm about to use this setup at my family home where i'll be for the next little while)

Fascinating
Here is my best recommendation. Get it second-hand. Demand to the seller to see that all the speakers work before buying.
You can buy something five times better if you go second-hand. My 5.1 Peerless speaker setup cost me about as much as two mediocre stereo speakers if I insisted on buying new.

at that budget you might be able to pick up a pair of Wharfedale Diamond bookshelfs and a basic Yamaha receiver
that combo will do you well
