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 .

All Heritage models are rated at 100 watts continuous 400 peak but they play so loud with so little power its unlikely you will be able to tolerate the volume they can produce with 50 watts.....

I have a pair of Heresy III,  40 watts will drive them plenty loud and clear.  Ridiculously loud and not really even pushing the amps.   Lascalas are much more efficient, so you wont approach your amp's max power if being  sensible with the volume control
