Is there a such too much power for speakers?

I was using my VAC PA 80 80 set in triode mode putting out 35 watts per side. My pre amp is the ARC LS15  They were driving my speakers that have built in powered sub woofers. I have on order a pair of Maggie's 0.7 speakers. I decided to buy a used amp that would have more power to drive the Maggie's as they like power. I found and bought ( for less that a decent set of speaker wires) a Spectron class D amp. I've spent days listening to CD's that I've owned from the eighties that I know inside out. They have never sounded so dynamic, energetic, amazing inner detail, and a wide sound stage I've never heard before. I'm just amazed on what I'm hearing that I've never heard before. So if high wattage produces what I'm hearing, give me more!!

John Ulrick produced the first commercially available Class D power amplifier in 1974.

Specifications

• Design: Class D (Switching) Stereo Power Amplifier
• Power: 600 Watts RMS x 2 into 8 Ohms, 800 Watts RMS into 4 Ohms, 1,200 Watts RMS into 2 Ohms, 1,500 Watts RMS into 8 Ohms in Bridged Mode

The thing is, I listen from low to mid Volume level around late nights.

You want a preamp / integrated with a good loudness switch then. Highly recommend the Luxman 509ux for having low end drive as well as incredibly tranpsarent tone controls.

Best,

@erik_squires hi thanks.
i had heard Luxman m900u stereo amp. It wasn’t my cup of tea. I still prefer richness from tube amps. 

If you like VTL then their suggestions are probably very suitable for you. Go with the S-400 if you can afford it (it looked like the S-400 ref II costs about $33k).

I don't think you should worry too much about having too much power but on the other hand it might not play much louder with 200W instead of 120W. Try something at home and see what you think.

If you want to try something else I heard an Absolare integrated that was fantastic. I think it has 150W so it would not be much more powerful but might sound different than your VTL.

There is an old review on the SE version on Tone Audio https://www.tonepublications.com/review/sonus-faber-elipsa-se/
He used 15 different amps with them from 35 watt tube monoblocks to 200.5 Pass monoblocks.
