Amplifier power versus maximum speaker input power


What are the ramifications of using an amplifier that exceeds the maximum input power handling rating of a speaker? I am thinking of getting a pair of Reference 3A Dulcets -- rated at a max of 100Watts RMS into 6ohms -- yet our Threshold S/500 II puts out 250Watts at 8ohms. I normally do not listen at more than 90db. Thank you for your input.

The more power you can give to a speaker the better they will sound. As long as It's clean power with out clipping the amp. Clipping a amp will blow up any speaker no matter how good it is.
