Magnepan 3a's with two bridged krell 1000wpc 8ohms

Has anyone had this setup?
the MG IIIA and two krell 250A bridged to 1000 wats per channel. Will this be over kill.

I use Wyred4Sound SX 500s on my Maggie 3.5R bass panels. Not sure if 1000 watts would be too much. I am using a PS Audio GCA 250 on the ribbons, so far so good, but it scares me on powerful passages when I see the clipping lights come on.

It really wakes them up. They gain speed, dynamics, articlation and definitely a greater sense of ease with the greater power and current.
