Can my amp drive the Paradigm Studio 100s

I have a Denon AVR-1910 receiver with rated at 90w per channel. I'm considering purchasing a pair of Paradigm Studio 100 v2; will my Denon cut it? I'll be using them with a sub for movies, but I'd still like to listen to a pure 2 channel setup some of the time. I'll be bi-wiring the Studio 100s. Any thoughts?

I agree with Rlwainwright that Biwiring the 100s did not make a difference.When I went from 125wpc to 250 wpc that made a nice improvment.Never did care for the tweeter on the 100s and ended up selling them.They were incredible for HT ,esp when paired up with a powerful sub.I think I had the PW-2200.in hindsight I wish I would have bought the Monitor Audios I auditioned instead .

Another thing that hasn't been addressed here yet, that is of great importance is the size of your room and the level at which you listen. Another consideration is that all amps are not created equal when it comes to power ratings, often a 100 watt amp will out power a lesser ( less expensive ) 200 watt amp.
