Can a speaker, such as a 6.5" in-ceiling with these specifications:
Impedance Compatible with 8 ohms
Suitable Amplifier Power Range 15 - 100 watts
Maximum Input Power 80 watts
handle an A/V receiver with these specifications:
160 W/ch (6 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 1.0 %, 1ch Driven)Dolby Atmos®/Dolby Surround
without any issue?

What kind of music?

Mostly for playing sound from TV (Chip and Joanna, cooking show, etc.) through A/V receiver, listening to Spotify and/or Pandora (mixture of 70's, 80's, 90's, country, old rap, etc.) and an occasional movie through Netflix.

More than likely.
The key is the 160w/ch 1ch Driven
With all channels driven, it is probably nowhere close to 160w/ch.
You would probably have to abuse it to damage that speaker.

Many thanks! Helps make my decision now.

Having dynamic headroom is good. The amp won't be clipping, just don't drive the speakers into distortion.
You don't note the frequency range of the speakers, or whether you plan to use a subwoofer, in which case you'd have a hi-pass crossover enabled on the 6.5" speakers.
oh, and tech board

It should will be fine at a reasonable volume. Even if the receiver is 160 watts per channel (which I doubt) just dont crank it all the way.
Posted on 6/12/17 at 2:12 pm to Will Cover
Yes

Keep in mind that each company measures power differently.

It's not too much power that will damage the speakers. It's too little power. If you turn it up too loud the amp will clip and that is what will hurt the speakers.

Atmos system for Chip and Joanna. Definition of an OT baller.

Will not be a problem. Power output at 8ohms will be closer to 120 watts. You shouldn't blow up your speakers.
Posted on 6/12/17 at 2:37 pm to Will Cover
Yes but you wont get the full capacity of the receiver obviously.
Posted on 6/12/17 at 9:02 pm to Will Cover
...all these numbers--I am confused.
Posted on 6/12/17 at 11:58 pm to Will Cover
It should be ok. Generally overdriving a speaker with more than its contious rms rating will blow out low frequency drivers.
Clipping usually damages high and mid frequency drivers.

Unless you plan on cranking them up really loud (which will sound like shite) you will be fine.
