Given a choice, I will take the bigger amp any day. You run less risk of damaging the speaker! A smaller amp, if overdriven, is how most tweeters in the world get damaged. In fact, if the tweeter is damaged in a speaker, the repair technician should always tell the user that the amplifier is under-powered.
