do you mean will you burn out new small surround speakers with too much power?

use them for main speakers or for dual front/rear quad type surround?  

what brand, model receiver do you have? we can look up the specs/features easily enough.

a lot of those had speaker options, A, B, or A+B.

that would let you use or not use them.

any specific surround speakers in consideration?

higher efficiency/sensitivity, 89 spl 1m/1w or higher is always beneficial, now and in the future, reduces your power needs, lets you try tube amp
