Default Underpowering speakers?

An earlier thread led me to the decision to purchase new Fronts and Center for my Home Theater. I've done a ton of work with car stereos but I don't want that to cause a bad decision.

I have an Onkyo 605 (90 watts RMS)
I'm looking at buying either Klipsch F3's or Polk RTi10's. The Klipsch's are rated at 150 watts rms but have a high sensitivity (98db). The Polks handle up to 200 watts rms, but at 89 db. Significantly underpowering speakers can lead to distortion which will blow the horns. Should I be worried about that with the above speaker sets?

Thanks, and opinions are also welcome on the speaker choices
