Is Onkyo TX-SR605 capable of Driving AE Aelite 5.1 or Kef IQ5SE 5.1 Speakers

Just moved to a fab house with a 6.5 x 5.0m living room. Convinced the mrs that we need a new surround sound set up so I can use the Pioneer all in one in the study. Thinking of Onkyo TX-SR605 as the receiver and have seen the AE Aelite speakers going for half price at Superfi but I am concerned that the Onkyo wil not be capable of driving the speakers. I have listened to other speaker systems with the receiver such as the BR2 package but part of my deal was that the speakers would have to match the furniture (Yeah I know!) so they have to be cherry or apple veneer. Will also test the Kef's at the weekend but the dealer does not do the receiver. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Yes, no problem on either of those systems.

Thanks for your quick response. Any idea which is the best speaker package Aelites or the Kef's?
