E-650 is guaranteed 30W/ch @ 8 Ohms, 60W/ch @ 4 Ohms, 120W/ch @ 2 Ohms and 150W/ch @ 1 Ohm in pure Class A.
The maximum output power before clipping is 75W/ch @ 8 Ohms, 125W/ch @ 4 Ohms, 190W/ch @ 2 Ohms, 220W/ch @ 1 Ohm

3 Questions:
What is the power of your 200W amp @ 4 Ohms, @ 2 Ohms or @ 1 Ohm (if specified at all)?
Speakers are most likely nominal 8 Ohms. What is the impedance minimum of your speakers and at what frequency does it occur?
What is the sensitivity of your speakers (dB @ 1W)?.

If unsure, try it out.
