what is max wattage? null

Remember, the maximum recommended power rating is 140 watts at 6 ohms (not at 8 ohms) for ELAC F6 towers. I have a Crown 1502 amp, which offers 525 watts at 4 ohms and 300 watts of power at 8 ohms. Therefore, the Crown 1502’s 6 ohms power rating is somewhere between 300 watts and 525 watts of power to each speaker from the Crown 1502 to the ELACs. That’s a lot of “headroom” to bring out pure musical sounds with very low, almost nil, distortion to the F6s. I am using my NAD C725BEE receiver as a preamp. With the correct speaker placement (not overly critical placement parameters), you will wonder why anyone would spend 10k for speakers. I enjoy audiophile sounds like most of you, and I have a reasonable lower budget from which to work. I hope this helps.

I am powering the Debut 6.2 with a Crown amp 450w RMS per channel @ 8ohm. I don't expect any problem unless I turn it all the way up.

140 Watts (RMS) at 8 Ohms. However, these Towers are rated at 6 Ohms impedance.

New speakers takes some time to break in just at listening level don't abuse them a good sixty watt amp will power them and some decent speaker wire. Your ears take time to adjust to different sound.

140 watts max is the rating. That'll really depend on your receiver and what it's real world wattage is. I'm running 165w through them and it's fine.

The maximum input is 140 watts.
