What Peter is refering to is mixers that enable 2 different levels of output.
If you look on page 9 of this PDF http://www.denondj.com/Assets/DImage....pdf?ts=071443 you'll see 2 switches between the Master (XLR) output & the Unbalanced (Phono) output.
The one on the left that says Att -10dB OFF ON is the one that switches between the 2 levels (& boy does it make a difference!)

Personally boys I wouldn’t put those speakers on a 650 w rms per channel amp.Two 8 ohm speakers in parallel the amp sees 4 ohms so no probs there. The speakers are ratted at 250 watt (rms i hope and not music power) so the 2 of them in parallel Could handle 500 watts rms(rms = 0.707 of the peek power I think, its about 25 years since i was at college!)so they have got the possibility of being over powered by 150 watts rms or 75 watts rms each and that’s a lot of power!!The same thing has happened to a dj friend on NYE...so be careful .I would nearly always rate my speakers higher than my amp because of the peek power the speakers have to handle just to be on the safe side
But I’m no sound engineer just a sparky and that’s what I was taught
but I prob am wrong......
No right, no wrong, just different opinions. Peavey for instance recommend using an amp rated twice the RMS value of you cabs.
Here's a thread about it.

Happy reading.
I visited big C ( Corby Headquarters ) five years ago and was told no problem using XR800F---500 watts rms a side into 4 ohms--- was ok with two pro 15s and two pro subs---overall about 1000 watts rms handling--- these all came to the the Yorkshire Speaker fest last year.
Before Xmas I bought the UL15s 500watts rms a side ohms and during a conversation with Peaveys own Techo at the dealers premises was given the thumbs up using the XR8600 ---600 watts rms a side into 4ohms.
I guess as long as you keep out of red light areas ( no I dont mean Hull )
there should be no problems whatever your set up--
No doubt someone will disagree--I can only say 5 years down the line I have had no issues with fried or blown speakers
