Questions about these speakers and specifications

[Daimroc]

I was interested in the following speaker models:

Hercules XPS 2.1 40 Slim (€42)

Precious thin satellites that fit perfectly into the decoration of your room      Total power: 32 watts RMS (2 x 8 watts RMS + 16 watts RMS).      Peak power: 64 watts      Each satellite incorporates dual drivers      The speakers are magnetically shielded to not interfere in the surroundings      Headphone jack and secondary line input on the remote control      Integrated power supply      The satellites have a black lacquered finish      Dimensions of the satellites: 23.5cm (high) x 5.8cm (wide) x 7.2cm (back)      Dimensions of the subwoofer: 24cm (high) x 16.5cm (wide) x 20.5cm (back)      1.8 m cable to connect to the audio source      The product complies with RoHS standards      Compatible with:         PC         Netbook         Mac®         MP3 player         DVD/CD player         TV         Game consoles 

Woxter DL-1100 (€55)

Separation > 45 dB. - Wooden speakers: 6.5”x1 (8 Ohms) +2 satellites 3” (6 Ohms)  - Output: 2 RCA.  - Input: 3.5 mm stereo, DIN jack of independent volume control.  - Volume, treble and bass control.  Works perfectly with PC sound cards, DVD/CD, MP3 players, portable audio and other audio sources. 

Genius HF2.1 1205 (€33)
Basically 85db, 32watt and range 65-20000Hz

The woxter looks good, but I don't have the dimensions of the satellites, which is something that interests me. Does anyone have them and could tell me? Does that information come in the manual? Because I can't find the woxter manual either. I would also like to know the watts of the woxter satellites and subwoofer.

Any alternatives to these speakers? My ideal price would be around €40, but I included the woxter because I think they are interesting. They don't have as good a db ratio as the genius, but they are good too.

As for power, the woxter might have too much, 150w is a lot, I've done some calculations and 30-50watt would be enough, in case that can help to find other alternatives at a good price, without maintaining quality (frequency range, signal noise ratio...).

Thank you very much.

Don't trust the peak W or PMPO, which are easily manipulated by the manufacturer. Always try to get the data in RMS, as is the case with the Hercules. Otherwise I couldn't tell you, although I had some Hercules 2.0 that had good sound quality but lasted me less than others.

[Obione]

The power (sound pressure) is measured in decibels (dB) but you shouldn't focus too much on that either because these equipment sound bad when you push them. Moreover, as you rightly mention, many data are made up for these "toy" speakers.

I agree with ferelxyx, I have the Big Bass 260 and they are great, they have a lot of power and the speakers are not too big and they sound great.
