Of all the electronic specifications that exist, I would say speaker frequency response and power handling capability could be the most meaningless of all. Just looking at the low-frequency spec on two competing speakers will give you practically no clue as to which will have better bass.
With speakers, you always start with a known brand with a decent reputation. Then you start getting a little pickier within that brand. Sonance visual performance are great speakers for the money in my opinion.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
