I ran the 841-3 in my shelby off Audison power which is very conservative and put the following to each speaker:
L8 - 260w
L4 - 160w
L1 - 110w
L8 - 260w
L4 - 160w
L1 - 110w

Well those kind of power ratings are alot more like what I was expecting.. Now just to find an amp.. 
run the sub out to the sub amp. run your front rca's to the dsp6 and split your signal 3 way. put zero delay on your sub. just one mans suggestion
Too much power is pretty much the right amount.
IMO trying to match rated amp RMS power and speaker RMS ratings is foolish and a waste of time because both numbers are just that: numbers.
My memory is poor because I go through so much equipment, but IIRC I had 7 LP amps bridged down on the 841 set at one point. That would be 285w on the L8's and 95w on the L4 and L1's. That's rated power and LP's are known to come up short or are right on. Last amp I had on the L8's is was an Eclipse dual mono that some members here benched at 400w all day. Before that, my Xetec put out 415 worth of bench-verified testicles. Both of which were the bare minimum for my tastes and install and system goals.
Go for as much power as you can fit into the economic + install friendliness equation. Forget amplifier "SQ" because it's the dumbest thing ever. Ok, maybe not the dumbest but few things are more stupider.
