Matching modern speakers with vintage amp/receiver?

Hello all,

I'm new to this hobby and I've begun to acquire some decent components as of recently. My question is... are pairing my more modern speakers (Bowers & Wilkins DM602 S3's) and vintage receiver (Sansui 4000) worthwhile? I think this set up sounds fantastic. However, am I risking underpowering my speakers (suggested 25-120 watts, 8ohm, 90db sensitivity) or overworking my receiver (45wpc) with this set-up? All opinions or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your input!

If you think it sounds fantastic then there's no reason to mess with it. Unless you're cranking the volume knob all the way to the right, you have enough power.
