Yamaha RX-Z1 with Studio 100'S V2.

Anyone ever run studio 100's directly from a receiver? I'm currently using my Yamaha RX-Z1 as a glorified preamp for my Parasound HCA-2200. I've enjoyed the set up for a few years.
The review I read regarding the RX-Z1 by Gene DellaSala mentioned running RBH 1266-LSE with the RX-Z1 (Initially he used his Aragon 8008, but later tested the Yamaha by itself) quite well. Gene had very good things to say about the Yamaha. Has anyone else run a pair of beefy speakers using only the RX-Z1? I'm contemplating 'downsizing,' but not at the expensive of compromising performance.
I never turn my Parasound off; therefore it's always ready to deliver whatever I ask of it (and has consistently). I would be going from that to asking the Yamaha to do the same thing with less power.
Regarding Yamaha - I've only had outstanding expereinces with Yamaha receivers over the years, and continue to have excellent experiences with the RX-Z1
Any suggestions or comments?

As good as the amps in the Yammy receiver may be, I doubt they're as good as an independent 2-ch stereo amp.

Whether they're good enough for you, I can't answer.

Why not try it and find out?
