Only way is if you crank the receiver up past the point when distortion starts to set in on the speakers. Never heard of a receiver that COULDN'T drive 8 ohm speakers. |

Do you know what the wattage rating is on your speakings? meaning does it operate from 50-120 watts? It should be on a sticker on the back of them unless you have Bose, which nobody knows because they dont publish specs |

If you raise the volume enough that the amplifier starts distorting, it could damage your speakers if you kept on playing at that level. If you actually listen to the signal and realise that it's begun distorting, then provided you lower the volume enough to stop distorting, then there should be no problem.
