This receiver outputs 100 watts X 6 channels and my speakers max out at 50 watts. Will it blow my speakers by simply turning it on or will I be able to use it at moderate levels without damaging the speakers?
Yes.
However; there are quite a few factors that are going to effect the performance you'll get with this equipment combination while ensuring you won't damage them. Speaker design type and what you'll be listening to with them are just the basic of basics.
Do not attempt to drive additional bass. It is probably best that you adjust the bass with the tone control to roll it back below input level.
If you hear distortion of any kind, it's too loud.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. My speakers are some older 3 way Hitachi floor cabs that are pretty hefty. I'll keep the bass down below distortion level and hope for the best. Your advise has been very helpful."
