Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions

I kind of keep going back to the Parasound as it ticks many boxes with the USB and phonestage. Hopefully the headphone section is decent as I will use it very often.  My only thought is it is 160W per channel and may very well be way more power then I need for smaller bookshelves. I'm not sure what speakers I'll be using but it's only a 12x12 room, so don't need anything large. Not even sure of the Wharfedales.   Question is, is would the Parasound be overkill with so much power? Would it overpower smaller speakers, or is it better to have more reserve and not use it? I'm sure an 80 watt amp would be more than sufficient.  Is there such a thing as too much power?  Would 160 watts be too much for speakers rated to 125?

@vinyljones1 I'll describe my experience in regards to your post above.  My bookshelf speakers (I have several) sound wayyyyy better with my 50wpc integrated than with my 100wpc.  Conversely, my floorstanders (i have several) sound better with my 100wpc integrated.  As they say around here, YMMV.  Best of luck to you! 

I would not be concerned about the increased power of the Parasound it meets your needs and can be found at your budget.  

@glennjohn       Budget point $1800 won't buy much in way of separates.  At this level much better sound quality will be obtained by not buying two boxes, two power supplies, extra cabling and connections etc etc etc.  Certainly stay with integrated.

Generally speaking, I don't think it's a bad thing to have "too much power" unless you overdrive your speakers or the sound quality is compromised. It seems unlikely that you would do that in a smallish room. In addition, the extra power could be a benefit should you desire to change speakers in the future.
