Default Denon DM31 with B&W DM600 S3 speakers

Does anyone have any opinions on this combination? My local dealer has
today sent an e-mail recommending this particular setup. Does this seem
a sensible combination, from both a sonic and economic perspective? The
B&Ws are about £200.

Presumably the 22W, 6 ohm Denon amp will drive the 8 ohm, 88dB spl B&Ws
without a problem? For what it's worth, the B&W specifications state:
"Recommended amplifier power 25W - 100W into 8 ohms on unclipped
programme".

My main concern is that these B&W speakers seem to be marketed as one
part of a multi-speaker surround system. Should this be of any concern?
I only want to listen to music, not DVD movies.

My music taste is rather diverse (Joni Mitchell, Chemical Brothers,
classical, Fugazi...) so I'm not concerned with matching the system to
any particular musical style.

Thanks.
