Hi, this is not really a problem. I have an Onkyo TX-SR604 receiver. I had polkaudio speakers RTi8 speakers that are no longer working properly. I am looking for recommendations for new speakers that can handle this receiver's output

A receiver with the specs...
* "90 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.08%"
(*) The only acceptable statement of its power bandwidth in the manual.
... when fed an undistorted audio signal, used properly and not driven abto clipping is not particularly dangerous to any reputable speaker.
Driving any amplifier, even a modest one, into high distortion is more dangerous to any speaker than a high-powered amp pumping pure undistorted power.
Choose any speakers but low efficiency models if you want loud and clean sound.
