speakers for classic receiver


Hello, I need some help matching speakers with two Sansui receivers: the 881 and the g 9000. Would the Focal Aria 936, flr standing speakers be too much stress on those receivers? I was informed that 8ohm would be best. However,  since i'm  not familiar with the technical aspects of speakers , sensitivity and ohms< I  need  assistance. The Aria specs  state they have a nominal impedance of 8ohm but a minimum low of 2.8ohm. That min. low impedance is confusing. In short, are these speakers a good match?I dont play music loudly at all and not for long periods. My room size is approx. 15 x14 x8. Both Sansui models were fully serviced ( recapped, aligned, cleaned). Thanks for any help and information.

Grab these up. 
Don’t know what the deal is, but these sell new for around $2700 each, and I see some “open box” as low as $2400 each. 
Happy for your good fortune!

92dB sensitivity is on the high side, and if you don’t drive  your amp into clipping, will sound quite good. If clipping, you will hear it as strain/grain, and if pressed further can damage speakers. 
These will sound stunning with current gear, but will begin your journey to higher-end amplification. It’s a grande journey. 
Consider a nice self-powered subwoofer like a Rel T/x series to ger the really low bass. 
The Focals are on my very short list to replace my mid-80s Kef Reference 103/3, and that will be hard for me.
