FWIW there is nothing about a speakers maximum power handling capability (as spec'd by the manufacturer) that has anything to do with sound quality. At the maximum speaker's level the distortion would probably be a major distraction and the SPL's be excessive for most rooms. With any speakers you want to determine the SPL range in which they sound best, i.e. very dynamic, yet free of distortion, and select your amp accordingly.
Having said that, assuming you use restraint when turning your volume control, you can use a high power amp capable of producing much higher power levels than your speakers are spec'd at. Speaker breakup should stop you from turning the volume control to a position where the speakers would be damaged.
As a pratical matter, it is far more important to use an amp that produces a highly refined sound not just power. Remember, a high quality refined amp, will cost anyware from fifty to a couple of hundred percent more than a smaller amp with sufficient high quality to drive your speakers within the SPL range that you will listen to them. Taking an amp from 50 watts to 200 watts of equal quality power only increases your potential volume by 6db and most folks don't use all that power unless they bought very inefficient speakers, or they a rock heads who are loosing their hearing! A cheap highpower amp is rarely appreciated for long in a high quality system. :-).
