NAD D3020v2 enough to drive Wharfedale Evo 4.1?

[border.community]

Wondering if the NAD is sufficient... Will the 4.1s only be getting 30 watts since the Nominal Impedance is 8 ohms?

NAD D3020v2 specs:
Rated Power at 8 ohms: 2 x 30 Watts
IHF Dynamic Power 8 ohms: 2 x 60 Watts
4 ohms: 2 x 100 Watts

Evo 4.1 specs:
Recommended Amplifier Power: 25-100 Watts
Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms Compatible
Minimum Impedance: 3.5 ohms

Don't read too much into figures, the amp should be sufficient

They're reasomably easy to drive by the looks of things. Wharfedale's website states Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1M)87dB so the NAD should be ok with these. Did you have any other speakers or amplifiers in mind too?

My son's NAD D3020i apparently having no problem driving less sensitive 84.5dB (2.83v@1m) Dali Spektor 2 speakers, also recommended for minimum 25W amp. So Wharfedales should have no problems.
