Planning to use a w4s st-250 with my he-6 do you guys think that's too much power?

using the speaker terminals.

That's about 31.6 Vrms (assuming it does the same voltage with all loads). Into 50 ohms (the HE-6) that's 20 W. At the HE-6's 83.5 dB/mW sensitivity, that's almost 126.5 dB exactly. Probably not enough to blow the drivers, but enough to cause pain and damage your hearing quickly. Don't turn it up loud and you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply, I went speakers recently and man they sound amazing but I'm afraid of some giant thunderbolt is gonna hit my house and boom goes 2,200$ speakers.
