Help with Yamaha rx-v473

[Fozed78]

Hi, I need to know the real power output of my Yamaha RX-V473 and which would be the best bookshelf speakers to replace the kit speakers that came with it. I looked on Yamaha's own website for the spec but it's all written in gobbledygook to me.

5-channel 575W = 115W x 5 (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9 % THD, 1 ch driven)
400W = 80W x 5 (6 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.09 % THD, 2 ch driven)
675W = 135W x 5 (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10 % THD, 1 ch driven, JEITA)

The kit speakers were 100w 6ohm, but I can't see any that match on Richer Sounds web site. I want to spend less than £100 but I need them to be very good quality. Also I can't fit floor stander's in the living room. Any help appreciated thanks. (they are going to be used as replacement front speakers in an AV setup).

I'd recommend that you go to see what's in the clearance section of your local RS and ask if they think any you fancy will work with the Yamaha. Most in your price range will providing they are fairly efficient (sound output per watt).
If they don't suit when you get them home you should be able to exchange them.
