Most of the time I just use the speakers in the TV. But for watching films & series via Netflix etc I'll often use my system.

Back when I was in my teens and 20's it was Vinyl all the way. Then decades later I switched to CD. These days I can't be bothered with the hassle of physical media so I just stream music.

Anyone that believes that has never been subjected to music at an average SPL of 105dBA. Maybe, just maybe it might be a peak level when measured by a very fast SPL meter, but it'll be a peak of milliseconds duration max. This is what the HSE (UK body) says about concert volume levels: "Noise...

It's just a long winded advertisement for Benchmark amplifiers.

You've just put yourself on the ignore list. I have no interest in discussing my understanding of speaker specifications with someone who clearly has no idea. Especially someone who's going to be rude. I've designed and built my own speakers, so I'm pretty confident I know what the specs the OP...

This is true.. to a point. It will very much depend on how detailed the specs are to start with (the ones the OP provided are about as useless as saying one speaker is red, the other is green). There is also the question about were the measurements made, where they made in an anechoic chamber...

Absolutely they don't. At least the ones the OP provided don't. If you think they do, then please tell me what is the +/- dB frequency deviation from flat from the 1khz output level for any of the speakers, (except manufacturer 1) which has already provided that information)? The most any of...

Small room?? 3m x 5m isn't a small room. At least it's certainly not by UK standards. OP - I'd add the Monitor Audio Silver 200 7G to your list of speakers to demo. It's a bit over budget new though, at £1,350 This, floor standers often have more balanced bass. A lot of stand mount speakers...

You simply cannot make a speaker choice based on published specifications alone. The specifications provided tell you nothing about how the speaker will sound. eg one speaker could be very neutral and another have a recessed treble etc. basic frequency specs as provided won't give you that...
