Macintosh Speakers XR 1052...A POWER question

My power source is a Yamaha Integrated Amp AX 500U...It has 85 Watts per channel into 8 OHMS.

I also have a JVC RX 6030V Receiver....It has 100 Watts per channel.

Will either of these two units be enough power to run these Macintosh speakers ?

Which of these would you use ?

Thank you

You have a couple of older nothing special Units to power them. If you don’t wish to get a dedicated power amp with at least 200wpc then you are doing the speakers a disservice and should probably move them on to someone who has amp to drive them properly. From your other thread.
