Is an AMC XIA30 powerful enough to pair with Dali Spektor 2 speakers?

As the title says, is the AMC XIA30 powerful enough to drive Dali Spektor 2 speakers?

I have bought the amp used, it's advertised as a high current amp with 30w per channel and 30 amps.

However the Dali Spektor is has a sensitivity rating of 84.5 and they are 6ohms.

They will be used in my bedroom accompanied by a REL T-ZERO MKIII subwoofer (6.5") subwoofer.

I'm not sure if I should look for something with a higher sensitivity rating or maybe a 4 ohm speaker, but the Dali Spektor 2 looks like good value for what they are being sold for. I won't be listening to anything super loud, I just don't want to be disappointed after buying them if I do buy them.

You're looking at 35-40 W per channel, so 99-100 dB peak... seems plenty loud enough for a bedroom system to me.

How are you intending to integrate the sub?

I'd be more concerned about the Dalis' somewhat wacky treble.

I suppose you've seen this?

The sub has multiple inputs, I think the recommended input uses what looks like a speakon connector to the sub then 3 wires with forked terminals for the positive and negitives of the speaker and 1 to the ground on the amp. Although it kind of concerns me if the bass is in stereo and I'm only getting it through 1 channel.

I do have other subs, an 8" (PSB Subseries 1) and a 10" (Marantz SW6000) that have high level inputs/outputs for both channels on them but I wanted to use the REL in the bedroom due to its small size and it's supposed to be really good for music.

Yes I have previously seen that thread but I couldn't make much of it other than he said he would buy them if he didn't have speakers because they were only slightly better than what he was already using.

I've been looking for good deals on speakers in my budget on marketplace but all the sellers are are either non responsive or don't have time for me to come and buy them. I've also been stung multiple times buying used audio gear online that's faulty/doesn't work so I won't be buying anything use unless I can demo it in person. It doesn't help that everything is hours drive from here as well.
