I'm fairly audio ignorant so forgive me. I recently bought a Sony STR-DE897 receiver and plan on hooking up a simple surround sound package from JBL (http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/art...ber=2&preview=) and eventually getting a pair of JBL S310iis for music only.

Until I can scrape up the extra $400 for the S310iis, I have a pair of JBL L100s that are older than I am. I have read that they are rated for 50 watts but the Sony receiver puts out 110 watts per channel. Am I going to fry the L100s by plugging them up or can I just manage the volume and prevent an overload? I really don't want to toast a pristine pair of vintage speakers that are still fairly valuable. Thanks for the help!
