Help for NOOB

New to Forum and new to playing. Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but here goes. I'm currently using an Eden N10S Combo Amp. This amp has an external Speaker out Jack. I'm interested in using one or both of my Klipsch La Scala Speakers as I've read that other people have used them as their main cabinet. Unfortunately none of those people have described how they connected the speakers. I haven't been able to find a pre-made cable to go from the Speaker out Jack on the amp to the posts on the speakers. Don't know if this is something that is commercially available or if you have to modify some available cable to make it work. It's also possible that I may not be using the right terminology when performing searches. I've listed the specs for the cabinets below (if it's helpful). This is an 8ohm speaker so it should be fine as the amp is rated to a minimum load of 4ohms. I mostly play Rock and R&B from the 60's/70's. Any help would be great

It's easy: Just get a standard speaker cable from a music store, with 1/4" jacks on each end. Remove one end and bare the wires, and attach them to the Klipsch binding posts. Then play. If the sound is weak, the Klipsch may be out of phase with the Eden. In that case reverse the wires at the Klipsch. Should sound pretty good.
