Lyra speakers

I recently built a pair of Lyra speakers.(They sound GREAT!) I noticed that one of the drivers could handle 50 watts RMS. Might this be a problem with an amp that is capable of 70 watts RMS?

Lyra Crossover

I am gathering parts for Wayne J's Lyra project. Would it be ok to use the Jantzen 15 gauge air core inductors in place of the 16 gauge on the crossover? Same value of course. Thanks All.
