Jeffrey is quite right. Using lower impedence speakers means that the amp can deliver more power, and this can overrun components, but it will only deliver that power if you turn it right up. In normal use it's perfectly safe to run with 4 ohm speakers.
Even if you like loud music, unless you are playing sine waves the amp will only be delivering peak output for a fraction of the time. As you're unlikely to want the peaks to clip the average output will be much lower than the amp is rated for, even with 4 ohm speakers.
