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 have two Denon AVRs (rated at 140w and 110w) and find neither very stasfying for two channel music--as suggested above they may have enough power, but just don't sound good, esp. at the low end. Adding an external amp (in my case 120w Parasound HCA, 60w HK Citiation and various Adcom) improved matters very significantly--more detailed and much better bass definition.
