Hi how to choose the right Av receiver for. Correct speakers

Av receiver is capabuilty for floor standing speakers like watts I am asking

For example
Marantz sr6010

• 110 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD, with 2 channels driven

Polk tsx440
8ohms
20-200watts

Dose this AV Receiver can Drive this floor standing speakers along with other surround speakers .

Receiver rating is the power what it can output. Speaker rating is maximum power it can handle. In reality how ever your are using only few watts in normal listening volume. So yes, that receiver is more than capable of running those speakers with center and surrounds. And if your receiver has more watts than speakers maximum that is not a problem either as you wont need to use that many watts for listening volumes. If how ever you have more power output on your receiver and you decide to crank it up turn it down immediately when your speakers start to sound bad to avoid damage to your equipment. This same applies for speakers with higher maximum wattage, if it starts to sound bad turn volume down immediately. In speaker ratings, what matters more is the sensitivy rating db/w and those Polks are really sensitive and it makes it easier for receiver to run.

I'm positive this setup will play louder than you will be comfortable with. That said, neither is designed for sustained "party levels" of loudness. Exercise caution as mentioned above and you'll be fine.

If you are getting listening fatigue (can't listen at the loudness level for very long, say 15 minutes) the relative amount of distortion is high. It could be the recording or the speakers and/or amp could be distorting. This is true even when the speakers are not audibly stressed. While you may not experience catastrophic failure, one or more component is working at or near max. Life expectancy will be considerably reduced.
