Default speaker/amp compatibility

I was given a RF PBR 300x2 amp. I just want to know if I can get the optimal performance out a Focal PC165 or Hertz HCX 165 using this amp?
I have read this forum for two days and still do not understand what amp can run which speaker. So my question is not to explain it to me. LOL

I am running the Focal 165ACs with my current set up and it is pushing them just fine but I am doing an upgrade.

Those are both very good sounding speakers. I wouldn't run either with the PBR, if you are looking for "optimal".

So you are saying that I would be wasting money on those speakers? Just figured I would spend a lil more money on fronts since I am not getting lids.

Not wasting money. You always want to get the best speakers you can afford. What HAZE is saying is that you won't get optimal performance from that amp. When your budget allows just buy a better amp.
