Is this 'too much' speaker for my receiver?

Hello,

I am thinking of upgrading my speakers. My receiver is an almost brand new Sony 2 channel (100 watts per channel). Here is a link to it.

Amazon.com: Sony STR-DH100 2-Channel Audio Receiver (Black): Electronics

I am thinking of getting a pair of Sony SSF-7000 speakers. Here is a link:

Here are the specs:

1" Nano-Fine balanced dome tweeter
200-Watt maximum input power

I'm a newbie. Is this going to be too much speaker for my receiver? If not, do you think the sound will be compromised?

Thanks for any and all help!

It will work fine.
The speakers are 8 Ohm which is easy to drive.

DITTO they will work OK together. I would purchased a sub next if you don't have one. Most towers with 8" woofers just donot have the Bass for good music and for Movies a sub is a Must if you like special effects to shake the room
Enjoy.

while I have my reservations about the sony, i honestly think you can do better as far as speakers are concerned.

Look into the Pioneer FS51s for example.
