Will Accuphase E-800 be enough to power Klipsch La Scala speakers?

I am not familiar with power and other electrical terms but am interested in the above combination. From the E-800 spec sheet at 8ohms, the amplifier can deliver 50W continuous power. The La Scala spec sheet has 100W/400W under Power Handling. All I have read is that the La Scalas do not need that much power to drive them. Am I interpreting the spec sheets correctly in that there is not enough power in the amp? I am feeing I am interpreting the requirements incorrectly.

I drove LaScala IIs with 8 wpc of 300B goodness to lease breaking levels.

Don't let the 50 wpc rating fool you that amp is good for 200 wpc into a 2ohm load plenty of amps out there can't even handle a 2 ohm load that is a high current beast. And La Scala's as noted above are very easy to drive.

La Scalas are so sensitive you can almost drive them with an iPhone. I cannot think of any amp, including a Decware 2 watt, that would not drive them.
