RTi A7 Wiring Question

I have a Denon AVR 4310 and a Parasound A23. I am waiting for some new RTi A7's to arrive and would like an opinion regarding power. Will the A23 be enough? Or, should I consider removing the jumpers and running the AVR to the top set and the A23 to the bottom. I know the A7 is rated up to 300 watts but if the A23 is enough to push these speakers I would like to use it alone on the A7's. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I would just use the Parasound. I think the Denon's ratings are a little inflated and the A23 has enough power to let you enjoy the A7's.

    I think you should be fine with the a23 by itself. Damn nice amp in my opinion.

    Thanks for the opinions. While I wait for my RTi A7's, I hooked it up to my A3's and WOW!...The Denon sounds awesome already but now it is even better with the Parasound. Extremely nice amplifier!
