If you think you are going to be overloading your amp I recommend going with something higher powered. With your speakers being 97db you'll need at least 30 watts unless you never turn it up. When solid state amps clip they produce a square wave. The speaker sees a dc voltage which overheats the voice coil. An SET amp usually just compresses the signal. Unless grossly overloaded. You are better off with a high powered amp then an under-powered one.
