Can Polk TSi100 bookshelf speakers match with Sonos Connect Amp Gen 2?

I found a pair of Polk TSi100 bookshelf speakers and wonder if these will match my Sonos Connect Amp Gen 2?

Specs for TSi100 are: 20 watts to 100 watts per channel, 8 ohms, 53 Hz to 25,000 Hz

Specs for the amp are: 2 x 55W 8 ohms, 22 Hz - 20,000 Hz

At a glance I thought these speakers is a close match but I do not have experience in these stuff.

Also these speakers have been rated well.

Can anyone help please?

Sounds like these are amplified speakers, so you need a Connect, not a Connect:Amp as I assume the only inputs to it are line-level. A Connect:Amp has speaker-level outputs.

Don’t think so, these are passive speakers

I was confused by the “specs for the amp” bit of the post.

These are 8 ohm speakers, they will be fine with a C:A.

Thanks, sorry for causing confusion. I did not even know what specs to list :-) Learning one day at a time.
