Recommended Power Amp watts vs Speaker Watt power handling ability


What would happen if I connected a pair of 8 Ohm speakers with recommended 100 - 200 watts (Monitor Audio Gold 300) to a power amp of 250 watts per channel into 8 Ohms (Primare A32)? Is it safe? Would the speakers be blown?

It's not ok to be underpowered, but great to be overpowered as long as you are not pushing the speakers to their limit... I used to power magnepan mmg, fuse bypassed, with a qsc 1400 at insane night club levels before distortion for 30min... no prob.
