Sorry, should have said.
With a small budget of £100, would these bookshelf speakers sound OK?
I know it is really difficult to tell without listening to them but if you were purchasing online with a budget of £100 would these be OK?

Not sure that you can tell anything about how they will sound just by looking at the specs.With a small budget of £100, would these bookshelf speakers sound OK?

These are for my home office and is about 4x3m.
If you purchase a TV online the comparision is a little more straight forward but I guess not with speakers?
I might have to just pop down to the local Richer Sounds.

The quoted distortion figure is quite low, which suggests to me these are active speakers.
OP - it would help greatly if you were more specific.
You have given a room size (which sounds as though it will be too large for these speakers anyway) but you don't state what kind of volume levels you are hoping to achieve (e.g. background music / casual listening / loud), and neither do you state what type of music or what source you will be using.
My son has a pair of these which are over budget at £280 but they are excellent.

Hi All,
Could someone translate these specifications for me:
Power distribution: 20 Watt x 2 RMS
Harmonic distortion: <0.3 % (1W 1KHz)
Frequence response: 40Hz - 20KHz
Signal/Noise ratio: >75 dB
Seperation: >45 dB
The specifications related to small bookshelf speakers.

Do you have an link to manufacturers website or to the advert from a retailer ? The Harmonic distortion, SNR and channel separation specs appear to relate to an amp or the amp section of an active speaker, not a passive speakerCould someone translate these specifications for me:

Listening yourself is the best way to determine which speakers work best for you, if your budget is £100.00 then try to listen to the Mackie CR4 or Alesis Elevate 5. These are active speakers with built in amps. Available here http://www.dv247.com/search/2940/0/ProductPrice/As...

How do they have such a crap separation figure then? Two mono power amps, one in each speaker - should effectively have infinite separation...With a budget of £100, I'd strongly recommend these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harman-Kardon-Soundsticks...
Admittedly I only use these for sound from my computer, but for the price, they sound fantastic (and I can't really tell the difference between my Cambridge Sonata system, which think was around £600 all in).
