Actually, for what your talking about, you can never really have TOO MUCH power! You won't have to worry about having too much amp to drive those speakers...you have to worry about having TOO LITTLE amp power is alway's the culprit in my extenive experience. A stronger amp will hang on to the drivers bette at high volumes. But weaker amps will cause the speakers to clip when pushed beyond what the amp can deliver.
My personal experience with the older series Classe amps, is that they're really not that strong! Infact I think the rating they give of doubling power into 4 ohms is bogus! I've blown SEVERAL midrange/tweeters on a few speakers using Classe CA100's/150's/300's, at various times, and notpushing that hard either! Really, If I were you, I'd consider doing a bi-amp situation with those speakers, especially if your playing loud. Otherwise something like Krell 250 or Aragon 8008BB is a minimum to play those hard and loud! The Classe's simply don't have that much power. However, your speakers are modest sensitivity, and I think like 8 ohms(maybe 6). You might be ok, however.
But, in my experience, and I like the Classe sound for the money, don't get me wrong, the classe CA150 is a better sounding amp! You would do much better in selling your CA300, and getting 2 CA150's and biamping your speakers!! For roughly the same money, you would get much much more dynamic sound, and stronger control overll!..trust me. I know, I've done just that in the past with quite a few speakers, when I had both the CA300 and 2 CA150's on hand to do just that! Yes, I know, Ihave too much time on my hands.
good luck
