For £100 you could get a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 or Mission MX1 from Superfi. Both excellent budget speakers which will work well with the Denon. Alternatively, look at some of the deals out there on the out-going Q Acoustics 2010i and 2020i models which are also excellent.
BTW, the power rating of a speaker is the power it can handle. Without an amplifier to drive them they have no power, and with the Denon you aren't going to be over powering the room so don't worry!

He means these are older models that have been replaced by newer models hence their lower pricing.
I'd personally recommend the newer Wharfdale Diamond 220 they are just within your budget, or indeed the cheaper 121's. These are current models and I think they are quite a bit better than the equivalent older versions.
PS Sorry to interupt matthewpiano.

If I were you I'd look on ebay for a pair of MS 10i / 20i Pearls. Should be able to pick some up for little money.

Just an excellent speaker for not much money. I replaced my MS10i Pearl with MS 902 and they were not as good :/
They play nicely with not so much power too.
Hi. I have had an older version of the Denon (DM37) working with the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1's as my bedroom system for some years. I haven't heard the latest version of the Wharfedales (or the Denon come to that) but CAN tell you that I've been really pleased with the combination. I've had to press it into service as my main system a couple of times - and surprised and impressed a few visitors in the process.
I'm sure the latest versions are very good but if you can save yourself some cash by getting the older model you'll still have a very nice little system.
BTW - I strongly recommend putting whichever speakers you get on some decent stands if you can. I strongly suspect the older model on good stands will be significantly better than the latest models without.

I have just been to Richer sounds to buy some Acoustic Q spks. I discussed this with the Manager...telling him about my intentions to get Denon DM39.....he pointed me in direction of a Cambridge One and "free" Minx XL speakers..£349.95. It did look ok ...and around what I was intending to pay....Any comments appreciated...will be going in to buy something soon. Thanks.
