Is there a risk if the amp puts out over 50W per speaker? If someone cranks the volume would it blow a speaker or something?
Yup!
Not really. It'll be fine. An amp that puts out 25W per speak will blow those speakers if you turn it up to max volume on a good reciever.
Yes, but most budget amps quote peak wattage, not RMS power, so even if it says 100w per channel, it might be considerably less. Ideally you get a more powerful amp and just don't turn it up past halfway. If it's less powerful then you'll get clipping when it's cranked.
