Is 200 watts too much for an NHT AudioCenter One?

I'm running the B channel of an Adcom 2535 bridged (200 watts) to an NHT AudioCenter One (says 150 watts max on the back). The guy that repaired my amp said he thought this was too much, but he wasn't that familiar with NHT speakers. I know it would be too much for a set of cheap speakers, but I thought the NHT could handle is just fine. Anyone have any suggestions?

I agree.

I've been using a 150wpc ATI AT1505 with five little NHT satellites for almost seven years now, and they've survived countless blastings of the opening battle in Lost In Space, Spinosaurus versus T-Rex in Jurassic Park III, and that badass gun battle in downtown LA in Heat.

Good clean power is better than pushing an amp into clipping. Be safe though.
