Amp questions

Hello!! I’ve been a Sonos user for a while now but have a few questions regarding my amp. I have a home system with multiple Eras (100s and 300s), One SL, Play 3, Move, Roam and a pair of Klipsch AW 525s hooked up to a Sonos amp. After doing some research the Klipsch’s are 8 Ohms with 75W of handling. I’m a looking to add another pair of speakers to the amp but am wondering if I can do with a pair of 100W 8 Ohm speakers. Can I do this or would this be to much for the amp to handle and would I have to get a separate amp for this?

What are the efficiency ratings for both pairs of speakers? The  Klipsch are usually pretty high, if the others are much different you’d have a volume level issue between the two sets.

Might not bother you but if it does you can add a volume control to the louder of the two sets to get an even sound output.
