Default What speakers can I use with my 4 ohm amp?

I have a Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 as the output for my computer's
audio. If I can,
I would like to replace those 4 satalite speakers with
the ones that I have left over from an RCA RV-9967 receiver, but I'm not
sure if that would be okay.

The 4 satalite speakers that came with the FPS2000 have 10watt @ 4ohm
stamped on the magnet. There is no detailed documentation for the amp
that comes with it, so I can only guess at the amp's rating based on the
speakers that came with it.

The 4 speakers from the RCA receiver that I would like to replace
them with are its two fronts (50 watts @ 8 ohm) and its two rears (25
watts @ 16 ohm).

Considering that the FPS2000's amp appears to have been designed for 4
ohm speakers, could I still use the 8 and 16 ohm speakers with it?

Would that harm the speakers or the amp to do that?
