Is 200 watts too much for an NHT AudioCenter One?

I'm running the B channel of an Adcom 2535 bridged (200 watts) to an NHT AudioCenter One (says 150 watts max on the back). The guy that repaired my amp said he thought this was too much, but he wasn't that familiar with NHT speakers. I know it would be too much for a set of cheap speakers, but I thought the NHT could handle is just fine. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ditto to what everyone else just posted. Run NHT's with clean power and they'll love it. Too LITTLE power is what'll REALLY destroy speakers.

Just make sure that the drivers aren't bottoming out when being pushed hard.

Thanks for all the responses! The speaker sounds great with the 200 watts ran to it, and doesn't seem to be anywhere near bottoming out. The NHT has really suprised me, I'm gonna have to find two fronts to match my center and SubOne now!
