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...

No, you will reach a point where it is too loud for you, way before you will damage the speakers. Trust your ears to not turn it up too loud.

Its crucially important they be matched because as everyone knows the amplifier puts out its maximum power the whole time and will quickly burn out the speakers unless carefully matched. Unless that is you got one with a volume control that works. In that case no, its irrelevant.

No. If you are actually listening.
