Revel Performa Series Can be driven by a Receiver?


I've heard conflicting advice about Revel Performa Series Speakers.
Is it "practical" to drive this class of speaker with a receiver?
In all the specs I can find on this series - only a nominal impedance of 6 ohms is listed.
I can not find a nominal power/watt rating?
My receiver is a Pioneer VSX-49TX. It's rated at 160 watts continuous at 6 ohms.
(Note: the receiver weighs ~63 lbs...so it's not amazingly heavy but not exactly a light weight either)...Questions:
1) Am I dreaming to have this type of Speaker/Receiver match up?
2) If it is practical - can I drive the F30's or am I best to stay with the M20 bookshelf?
Either way - I will still us the B15 sub, C30 Center, and S30 rears...
Any responses (and or help hints for proper setup)would be greatly appreciated?

Your Pioneer will not do justice to your M20s. I own them. They blossom with a lot of high quality power/current. I don't know about receivers, but you can go with a quality integrated. There are oodles of high current/quality out there. You plan on putting them on killer stands, I hope? The ones that come with the M20s just don't cut it. Remember, even though they call them bookshelf speakers, they are not meant to be put on a bookshelf. That is of course, if you don't care about the sound.
