you can have all the power you want with those speakers, as long as you use common sense with the vol. control.
if at some point you hear some distortion, slowly turn down the vol. until it has disappeared. if the distortion remains, then it probably comes from the source signal.
i have over 5000 watts of amplification on my system, but i use my good judgment and sense; no danger then.
in order to hear sound at its best, one must be sure that fast instantaneous peaks will not be clipped. those peaks are often about 10 db higher than the average level, but they can go up to 20 or so dB higher. that's when *power* is used and useful.
not clipping peaks gives a sense of "live performance" in playback, if the source is of good quality.
