Ohm Walsh advice

I am not an audiophile (yet). I am just wanting to build a decent system to listen to vinyl with my wife. I am also on a budget. Since all of this started by watching Bosch, I had to buy some Ohm Walsh speakers. I have some FRS 11's that I got at a good price. I also bought a decent turntable. We want to stay vintage for the sound and the looks.

This is the specs on the speakers.
AMPLIFIERS RECOMMENDED 30 - 150W
IMPEDANCE (TYPICAL) 6Ω
FREQUENCY RESPONSE 37 - 20,000 Hz (+/-3dB)
SENSITIVITY @2.8 VOLTS90 dB

I have been told that an amp with 50Wpc can run these. The amp we were discussing was the Marantz 2250B. Is that correct? As I have been "educating" myself on forum post and other internet reading, I have read that it is bad to run an underpowered amp. Any help will be appreciated. Sorry for the new guy post.

A lot depends on what type of music you listen to and at what volume. Room size plays a part as well. Fifty watts will be fine at lower volumes but if you like to crank it on occasion, your Marantz may run out of gas. My rule of thumb, you can never have too much undistorted power.
