You need to be a bit careful with the amp you choose if you go high power.  Some amps get loud too fast and you can find it difficult to manage volume.  I don't have direct experience with this but my understanding is Parasound specifically can have this challenge with high efficiency speakers.  Although tonally they are fine with Klipsch, this evidently can be a problem.  I had this conversation yesterday.  

Cyrus is a good alternative for smaller SS.  You could also look at other pure Class A amps.  Sugden is brilliant and not crazy expensive.
