Can my amp drive the Paradigm Studio 100s


I have a Denon AVR-1910 receiver with rated at 90w per channel. I'm considering purchasing a pair of Paradigm Studio 100 v2; will my Denon cut it? I'll be using them with a sub for movies, but I'd still like to listen to a pure 2 channel setup some of the time. I'll be bi-wiring the Studio 100s. Any thoughts?

I had the 80s, but drove them with an H/K 100 watt/ch. 5-channel amp. The H/K has a ton of current, which the 80s just loved. Your Denon should be able to power them to satisfying levels, but the bass would be better with a high-current separate amp.

As for bi-wiring - I tried this with the 80s but did not really notice any improvement in the sound. I'd recommend saving your money for better source matl. or an outboard amp...
