I have found a couple similar posts and replies, but none which answered my question. I am in college and so do not have much money to spend on equipment, and I also did not do much research before I bought speakers to combat the four song hip hop playlist next door. I bought two refurbished three way JBL SC310IICH 200 watt speakers and a JVC RX-7030VBK/RX receiver which is 110 watts times seven channels. I wasn't concerned about the wattage diffiference (mainly because of ignorance) until after playing music particularly loudly when the receiver got almost too hot to touch. I don't plan on playing them this loudly for as long often or again even, but will normal to fairly loud playing damage the speakers or receiver?
