Is this enough power?

Does a 30w per channel 845 SET amp have enough power to drive 88.6 db at 6 ohm speakers at moderate level of volume. room is 14x18x9 and open at one end into the kitchen. mostly listen to jazz and classical.

Thanks

I lisen to rock and reggae at a moderate to high volume most of the time with no problems at all. My room measures 10x19x9. IMO you will not have problems with your amp.

In my set up I found the sound changes a bit been the 4 ohm tap the one I like most because the bass notes are more tigh and the music sound more "relaxed."
