Can Denon AVR-1909 handle these speakers?

From the Denon AVR-1909 spec sheet:

90 Watt - 8 Ohm - THD 0.08 % - 2 channel(s) ( Front )
120 Watt - 6 Ohm - THD 0.7 % - 2 channel(s) ( Front )

From a review of the speakers, it looks like between 100 to 200 HZ, Ohms dip to 4. I know this is somewhat subjective, but does Denon have a reputation when it comes to pushing a higher load like this? I already own the receiver and am thinking about exchanging my current speakers for these ones... my only concern is if my denon will be able to handle the load. I listen to TV at moderate levels and will probably crank it for movies to 85-90 db.

Thanks guys.

I have an older model Denon AVR-1905 and have no
problem running Axiom M80 floor standing mains (4ohms).
This is in a 7.1 setup and I can still run it very loud and the 1905 handles it very well.
I believe the Denon's have a rep for very robust amps

I don't see a problem with that combination. The sensitivity on those speakers is on the low side but if your expectations are only 85-90 dB for movies, there should be no problem at all.
