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 .

You say you upgraded tweeters and crossover ,what about the mid range drivers? I replaced all components in in set of belles from Crites and it was a big improvement.im driving them with McIntosh 601 mono blocks,which is extreme overkill,only because I’m in between b&w’s right now.sold my 802 d’s and waiting for a set of 800 d2’s to pop up somewhere.
As I stated in my earlier post, back in 1970, Klipsch used metal mid horns, which, at a louder volume, would ring and resonate. I believe this is what you are responding to. I suggest Dynamat, or another type of damping material, to dampen the outside of the horn. The bracket holding the midhorn ( near the driver ) to the doghouse, and it’s surrounding area, are also very resonant, especially at a louder volume, and should be damped..
