Big basically summed up everything already discussed in this thread.
However, you will not be "choking up" the performance of your speakers by only feeding them 20 watts or so, as he put it. In essence, that statement says that your sound quality is degraded every time you lower the volume. That's just not the case.
I have heard people say things like "these speakers love power", or these speakers "come alive" with more power. Its all BS. the only thing they do with more power is get louder.
An amplifier does (or should do) one thing, and one thing only. Amplify. it does not color the sound in any way, shape or form. if I does, it is of poor design.
Conversely, speakers are meant to do one thing, and one thing only...Recreate the signals they receive. Some do this better than others, and that is why you can pay $10 for one, or $1000. Linearity also comes into play. To say a speaker sounds BETTER with more power is questionable, at best. To say it is LOUDER is a more accurate statement.
Your system is only as good as its weakest link.
Buy the best stuff you are comfortable paying for.
