Would the Emotiva XPA-5 be a good match for this speaker set up or is it too powerful?

Apparently, the XPA-5 drives 350 watts RMS x 5 into 4 ohms. I understand that the LC265i's are rated at 10-200W, THE LCi-C at 10-150w and the LC80FX at 10-125w. I'm a little concerned that the XPA-5 is too powerful - should I be?

I appreciate any advice.

    You can never have too much power. Better to have more than less. You just have to make sure you don't go crazy one night and listen to music a concert level. I did that with my Thiels and a Carver TFM 25 which does 350wpc into 4 ohms and hurt one of the mid range speakers.

    What he said

    You can never have too much power, just watch the volume control.
