Is it to much power?

I'm thinking of buying some new amps and i like the line from Pass labs.I like the x600 monos the best.My question is if a speaker is rated for 30 to 200 watts can a 600watt set of mono blocks be bad for these speakers??The speakers are Artemis EOs sig/Large bass modules.They say these speakers are capable of playing at really loud levels.I Dont really listen to my music that its hurting my ears but i dont listen at wisper levels either.

No, it's not too much power.

When powered by transistors, I used to always make sure that my amps were rated to at least the speakers maximum RMS [not peak!] power rating.

When it comes to tube power, I try to get the power mid-way, say a speaker rated at 40- 100 watts RMS, I will try to keep the amp power midway [60-75 watts].

And with horn speakers or extremely high efficient speakers, more power is NOT more desirable!

Thanks for all the comments.i'm going to have to make my mind up on what i'm going to do..As for the pass amps i heard them some time back and the sounded very uncolored plus they are beautiful looking amps.
