High power amplifier and small speakers??


As a general rule could one say that sound quality is diminished by using a powerful amplifier (150 w/ch into 8ohms) with small speakers (high sensitivity)? Would detail be lost at lower volumes? I am curios because I am planning on upgrading my amp but have small speakers (may upgrade later)/

For example, Totem Mani-2s are relatively small stand mounts and you better have some real big horsees driving these or they will sound like cow patties, though I have to admit that cow patties do provide difficult impedance and phase angle curves to a partnering amplifier.
