And btw that does it mean that a sound card has "100 dB"? |
If you're talking about SNR 100db then it's the "Signal to Noise Ratio", the higher the figure the better.
If the card said SNR 40db then you would probably hear the hiss and crackle of the electronics through the speakers but at 100db and above this interference would be inaudible.
Frequency response in simple terms describes what musical tones the speaker can give out. The range of human hearing is roughly from 20Hz, very low bass to 20kHz the very high treble so those speakers would probably give good base although quite not there. Although you would be hard pressed to notice.
