Starter speaker, or some sort of solution?

[xtraorange]

Howdy folks,

Background:
So my Phillips 5.1 HTiaB finally bit the dust... and while I could get it repaired, frankly it's time to upgrade. I have my eye on the Yamah RX-V671 for it's features and current price point (I like the networking abilities of it, 7.1, dual zones).

Problem:
After some reading, I'm finding out that the speakers from my old system are 3 ohm, and apparently that's real bad for my new receiver?

Question:
What I need is a very, very cheap tip for some starting speakers that I can use for the next year or two until I can afford to upgrade that next. Either that, or some way to use my old speakers? Ideally, I'd like 5.1... but I'd accept 2.1 if that's all I can afford. What would you suggest?

Thank you!

Define bit the dust and aso what equipment do you presently own that are functional.

The "receiver" is no longer working and I don't think it's worth repairing.

Equipment is the 5.1 speakers, all 3 ohms.
