If your Speakers and Amp perform like before chances are nothing is damaged. From my experience tweeters run the most risk when an Amp is run beyond its limits, because clipping introduces extremely loud high frequency harmonics. Tweeters are typically not built to handle tens of Watts of harmonics and will fry quickly.
If the Receiver shuts off that in itself should not be damaging to the Speakers.

No, in fact it is the other way around because of what I mentioned before. As long as the Amp doesn't distort too much Speakers can be run quite loud, usually letting you know when you reach their limits.
