advice on powering my martin logan vistas

hi,
i am getting martin logan vistas and am hoping that my nad c272 will be enough power but wanted to some opinions. the martin logans do not have an internal amp for the woofer and the nad puts out 150 into both 4 and 8 ohms. I am wondering if the 150 is enough or if i should get another and bridge them. Any thoughts, and thanks, i sometimes like to play loud and all genres.

I had Vistas and you do want a lot of power. (I used Anthem then Theta Digital power ampos with mine.) Even though the NAD's numbers are not all that high, NADs have the right power for power hungery speakers. I think you will be fine. I just heard Magnepan 1.7s driven by the same and they sounded wonderful.

BTW, do not overpower Vistas, the panel can take it, but the woofer cannot. IMO the woofer is the achilles heal of the Vista. Great speaker though. Add a sub if you wan more bass.
