… So I don’t want to hurt them .

In the context of the Klipsch La Scala's and their power handling I'd assume for above quote to be aimed at your ears. Sporting 104-105dB sensitivity you'll hit some 120dB's or slightly more with 100 watts, at the listening position up to some 3 meters away. That's a lot of strain on you ears. Indeed I'd lower above rated average wattage usage by at least factor 10. Don't know the size of your listening room though (and listening distance) added to how hard it's damped, which can change the estimations notably. How old are your La Scala's?
