Will the Marantz PM 7000N Integrated Amplifier be good with Polk lsim 705?

I have 705's, and you would need more power than that for them to sound good. My Music Hall A70.2 integrated amp has 125 per channel, I also ran them with a B&K 4420 with 225 per channel.
Sixty watts per channel won't sound very good with them.Yamaha RX-A2070, Musical Fidelity M6si integrated amp, Benchmark Dac1, Bluesound NODE 2i, Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport, Parasound Zphono USB Phono Preamp, Fluance RT85, Ortofon 2M Bronze, Polk L600's, L400, L900's, RC80i's, SVS 3000 Micro, Audioquest Interconnects and Digital Cables, Nordost Silver Shadow Digital Cable, Cullen Gold and Crossover Series Power Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 12AWG OCC Speaker Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha Analog Interconnect Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 11 OCC Custom Power Cable, Signal Power Cable, Furman PL-8C 15 Power Conditioner, Sony 65" 900F, Sony UBP-X700, Fios, Apple TV 4K, Audioquest Chocolate HDMI Cables. -

If you are referring to this: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-5enVQvYZAic/p_022RXA3010/Yamaha-RX-A3010.html
I believe you'd have better luck using a nicer/dedicated preamp (maybe tubed) in front of your Rotel. You might be surprised at how much using an AVR as a preamp can bottleneck your amplifier's performance. -
Clipdat, thanks! I have been thinking along that line. Any suggestions, with pre outs
