It's better to over power than under power.
My previous speaker's were the entry level floorstanding B&W 683 S1. The recommend Amp power: 25W to 200W. The SC-09 TX AV receiver were first use to drive the 683's. The SC-09TX is rated at 200W x 2 stereo. At the beginning, I thought it was enough power to drive the 683's but I had to turn the volume up in order for me to hear them fully. And when playing at low volume they sounded muffled. I realized that i need to start looking for a high current amp to drive them properly. So I decided on the McIntosh MC452 Amp to drive 683's and it made a difference in sound quality. It felt like the 683's woke up from hibernation, it transform the 683's. With the MC452 it sounded more dynamic and clear, I could actually enjoy listing the 683's at low volume than before.
