Is it to much power?

I'm thinking of buying some new amps and i like the line from Pass labs.I like the x600 monos the best.My question is if a speaker is rated for 30 to 200 watts can a 600watt set of mono blocks be bad for these speakers??The speakers are Artemis EOs sig/Large bass modules.They say these speakers are capable of playing at really loud levels.I Dont really listen to my music that its hurting my ears but i dont listen at wisper levels either.

When powered by transistors, I used to always make sure that my amps were rated to at least the speakers maximum RMS [not peak!] power rating.

When it comes to tube power, I try to get the power mid-way, say a speaker rated at 40- 100 watts RMS, I will try to keep the amp power midway [60-75 watts].

And with horn speakers or extremely high efficient speakers, more power is NOT more desirable!
