sonos amp powering passive bookshelf speakers

I have bought the Sonos amp and hooked it up to totem signature one speakers and Sonos sub. Is the amp powerful enough to run these speakers?  Totem Audio didn’t think the amp was.  Suggested I contact Sonos.  I couldn’t find anything on the internet to suggest the amp was.   Critiques talk about budget speakers not higher end products.  Appreciate your input.

Never mind what totem says. It is good as any HiFi amp of the same power delivery spec.

Worry more about speaker sound quality and placement in the room. And source sound quality.

Sorry - I’m new to this discussion process.  The new Sonos amp does play the totem speakers. It’s clarity and detail I’m looking for.  Not getting the latter right now. Have adjusted the eq setting to +4 bass and -6 treble.  Sub eq setting set at 80 with the eq at 0.

The Sonos Amp should provide plenty of power for those speakers.

What music source are you testing?
