So here's what might seem like a silly question:

If my speakers are rated between 25 - 125 watts, does this mean that anything about 125 is dangerous and could blow them? If so, would using a 150w per channel amp, as an example, actually be an issue? Or does it just mean I have to be careful with the volume knob?

In theory you are more likely to do damage to them using an under powered amp and pushing it too hard causing the amp to clip.

At normal listening volumes you will probably be fine with pretty much anything unless the speakers are incredibly difficult to drive.
