How much power is to much power?

When is an amp overkill for a speaker? More specifically, I have 91db speakers and I'm considering two SS amps, one 140 watts and the other 200 watts. Are they both too much? Is it too much simply because you're paying for extra power but don't need it, or because it's a detriment to the overall system sound?

Thanks.

Audiofeil, seems you're still a rookie or you just didn't understand what I said. Either way, you still have a lot to learn! My point is very clear since speakers differ in size, internal volume, number of drivers etc..

FAS, would you drive a single-driver Lowther with an amp like a Krell FPB600 and claim that it's not 'too much power' for that speaker??

I think folks should stay away from you !!

Best Regards,

LOL, Destep. It sure does remain an amusing exchange, especially if you like to see Pit Bulls in the ring. These guys are made for each other, I think. Substance v form! And the winner is? :-)
