I'm considering buying a Parasound 2250v2 amp, which is rated at 275 watts per channel. My Polk RTi7's are rated for something like 50-300 watts, is the Parasound to close to the max to damage my RTi 7's?

    It is actually far worse to have too little than too much. The amp will be fine.

    You could run a 100 watt set of speakers with a 10,000 watt amplifier with no problems. It’s not the power rating of the amplifier that damages speakers, it’s the person controlling the volume. And more often than not, when speakers blow its because people over-taxed the amplifier they were connected to, rather than giving the speakers too much.
