How much power can a pair of Klipsch La Scalas take ?


I have two emotiva 2gen 2 amps and I was wondering if I can safely run my La Scalas on them. They rate the speakers at 100-400 Watts at 8 ohms.  My amps are 250 rms at 8ohms. And 500 at 4 ohms. I’ve herd Klipsch speakers act more like 4ohm speakers than 8. I up graded the crossover birds and horn tweeters from bob Crites and they sound amazing. So I don’t want to hurt them .

And on the noise I bought a mapleshade noise suppression ground loop with double helix wound power strip.the lows are pretty black👍
Thanks bill, I bought the La Scalas to keep up with my chorus speakers. The chorus speakers would drown out any speaker I try and run with them. The La Scalas are about as sensitive as the chorus speakers
so there a good match sound wise. But power handling not so much.
My room is 25-20, my La Scalas are 1970. I up graded caps and tweeters. They sound great I run a svs ultra sb16 with them. I like loud music but also like clean sound down at lower sound levels.
You will love this. My friend asked me if I wanted a pair of big speakers. St the time I didn’t have a stereo system. But I said bring them over he showed up with a pair of Klipsch Chorus speakers. I was so impressed with them I built a new sound system to take full advantage of the chorus speakers. I ran into a problem when I tried to match another pair of speakers with them. They drounded  out every speaker 
i ran until I found the La Scalas they have the same sensitivity so they don’t drown out the others 😁
I’m trying a acurus ss amp. I’m having trouble with the midrange if the song has a lot of mids in it they get fuzzy . Any ideas on what it could be or how to fix?
i have already upgraded the tweeter and crossover boards with bob Crites .
Am I at the point where I need to upgrade my wires? Any good brand to look for and not break the bank buying them?
I will give it a try and connect them to my emotiva 2 gen 3 amp. I will post with my results. Thanks
Yes I’m running both chorus and La Scalas.
its a 25-20 room and I like the surround effect. And I like loud music.
Allright I hooked my la scallas to my emotiva 2gen3 amp and much better sound all around. But I still get the fuzzy midrange when pushed. Now my question is why not compensate with an equalizer? Turn down the offensive frequencies instead of altering the expensive speakers.
