Speaker and amp compatibility


I have a Rogue Audio Sphinx v2. I am looking at a used pair of 
KEF 104/2 Reference Floor-standing Loudspeakers

They are 4ohm with a max 200 watt.

The rogue puts out 200 at 4 ohms. Is that sufficient or would I need more power. I am a newbie and this is probobly a really basic question for you guys.

Thank you ahead of time

One quick note - don't judge the power you are using by the position of the volume control.  The knob position does not correlate directly with output power.  At the hallway point, it could be putting out 50 watts,  watts, 100 watts, 28.7 watts, etc.  Many amps have high input sensitivities, so they go really loud early in the volume control range.  It makes you think you've got a really powerful amp, but you can run into clipping before you get anywhere near the top fo the volume knob rotation.
