The Watt rating is not very important here. What is the impedence of the speakers? (4, 6 or 8 ohms)
If 8 ohms, no problem.
Lower? Might be a problem for the receiver. |

Nothing wrong with lower Ohms if you receiver can handle it. It should be stated in the documentation or right around the speakers themselves.
