They will indeed produce sound with the Stereomour.  Your listening habits, music preferences, and room size will determine whether or not the Stereomour is adequate.

thanks caucasian backplate!

music would be maroon 5, accoustic. volume would just be for background ambiance. room size 10-15sq.m. not after the bass, more of vocal clarity.

this or the paramount?

Your music choices certainly lighten up the power requirement a bit.  The extra power from the Paramount will be extremely helpful, and having some headroom so that you can try wiring the amps for 4 Ohms would be nice as well (the 601 impedance dips pretty low kind of all over the place).
