Is This Amp OK for This Speaker?

I have a Dynaudio Contour T2.1 Center Channel speaker, impedance listed at 6 ohms. Also have a Marantz SM-80 (bridged/mono) that I want to use to drive the Contour T2.1.

Specs for the SM-80:

Rated power output (20 Hz-20 kHz)
8 ohms RMS...100 Wx2
4 ohms RMS...150 Wx2
8 ohms mono...300 Wx1

Back of the amp, at the speaker terminals, reads 2CH minimum 4 ohms, Mono (bridged) 8 ohms.

Any issues with the SM-80 driving the Contour T2.1?

Lloyd,

Thanks for the reply. The Dynaudio Contour T2.1 has specs more typical of a full (or fuller) range speaker: Sensitivity 86dB, FR 32 Hz - 25 kHz.

Thinking there are more suitable amps than the SM-80 bridged.
