Hello, I have a pair of klipsch reference premiere rp-280 f's. The question is if I bought the stereomore amp, will it be sufficient to power these 98 db speakers? Thank you in advance.

For most people in most rooms, that's going to be plenty of power.

Agree with Paul BUT the sensitivity may not be everything. My klipsch forte 1s are 96db but dip down below 4ohms at some points on the curve. I find they play loud enough with the stereomour but lack a bit of bass slam. Not to say that they are devoid of bass, not at all, it just doesn't hit you in the chest like a 20w pp amp. That said,  the stereomour has waaay better top end and midrange. I ended up adding a couple powered subwoofers to fill out the bottom end. All to say, check out the impedance curve too.
