is the amp too powerful..and would it hurt or damage my speakers?


so I'm new to building home theatre. I just recently bought Klipsch RP-8060FA front towers....klipsch RP-504c for the center channel. Both are rated at 150 watts RMS.......

the amp i am looking at is the Anthem MCA 325 Gen 2...which is 225 watts per channel driven. would this be too much for these speakers? 

thanks for any help...

It’s clipping from running an amplifier that’s not powerful enough for the load that damages speakers.
Its more than just the power rating you need to understand, as some manufacturers use peak measurements for RMS values. Look for a well designed, shielded and sized PS. It’s the foundation for any great sounding system.
