You're off by a factor of 3 or so, at least for the part we use. Nor do we mark up that much!
So its not overkill on a horn system. Our class D amp is rated 100 Watts into 8 Ohms, on my speakers which are 16 Ohms they make 50 Watts, which is plenty when the speakers are 98dB. Not overkill. They replaced a set of our fully optioned M-60 OTL amplifiers, which have gotten nice reviews and awards in the high end press. I think the class Ds sound better and they cost less too.
