While those are very nice speakers, that amp is a bit overkill for them. You only need around 75-120W RMS to run those speakers flawlessly, so long as it's clean, true power.
For some amps that would be a very good match, you should check out:
If you wanted a matched setup (brand wise), Focal actually just recently released their amp line-up in the states and they're very nice. Their FP 4.75 is an awesome amp, very nice sounding with a huge frequency range. It's rated at 75Wx4, which is at the lower end of the spectrum for those speakers, but it's underrated and would drive them very well.
The Audison VRx 4.300 would probably be my favorite amp of choice for you and this setup. It's truely a phenominal amp, although kinda hard to find. It's rated at 110Wx4, which would be about PERFECT for those speakers, and it's very musical / tunable power. These are also expandable / customizable amps...
The Diamond Audio D6 700.4 is not quite up to par with the Audison, but is about comparable to the Focal amp above. It's the least expensive of the group though, and offers a huge bang for the buck. It sounds awesome, and runs 115Wx4 RMS, which is the high side of what I'd throw at those speakers.
Anyhow, these are just three of many available amps that would do the job well, but they're three amps that I think you would be extremely happy with (you can't go wrong with any of them).
Good luck man! You have some very nice speakers, I can't wait to see / hear about the setup you choose. Make sure you take some pics of your progress!
Take care,
