Help please choosing AMP wattage for a newbe


After many years, I am finally in a position to put a nice system together - but not all at once..

Here is my dilemma.

I just purchased a Classe SSP 600 and I now need to purchase the amps. The amps I would like to purchase are Pass Labs X 350. My speakers are rated at 200 watt max. The reason I want the 350 is because next year I will upgrade my speakers and want an amp robust enough to handle future needs. However, I don't want to ruin my current speakers - Martin Logan Clarity and Dahlquist 28s.

Is there a way to make sure I don't damage my speakers before they are upgraded?

I appreciate the feed back.

"Although most amps will work with most speakers, few combinations are optimal."

That's been my experience - and hard learned. To me, putting an audio system together is like trying to build a Superbowl team; there's more to it than just matching the numbers - there's personalities to deal with. That's right! I said personalities. I have no tech knowledge so I use what I know. I wish you luck.
