Is there a risk if the amp puts out over 50W per speaker? If someone cranks the volume would it blow a speaker or something?
Yup!
Yes, but most budget amps quote peak wattage, not RMS power, so even if it says 100w per channel, it might be considerably less. Ideally you get a more powerful amp and just don't turn it up past halfway. If it's less powerful then you'll get clipping when it's cranked.
Not really. It'll be fine. An amp that puts out 25W per speak will blow those speakers if you turn it up to max volume on a good reciever.
