Not on the face of the specification - the speakers should out perform the amp.

It is worth noting that many amps are optimistically rated anyway and often quoted in RMS output whereas your speakers should be rated for their real continious power capability.

However unless your amp is of excellent quality my experience is it will distort when you approach full volume. they all seem to.

Your speakers may also be optimistically rated and distort although they should survive the experience.
