Will my QUADs drive Spendor S100s?


I currently have QUAD 33/303 (45WPC) amps driving my Spendor Prelude loudspeakers. I have been seriously tempted by a pair of Spendor S100s for sale in a nearby town, but am unsure whether they will be happy in combination with a mere 45 watt amp. I do have a spare QUAD 303 which could be used to bi-amp the system...

The 100s are not easy to drive to tonally correct results. That said, I once drove them with a 30W DNM -- it was OK at reasonable listening levels. I do think bi-amping (mid+high/ bass) rather than tri-wiring is a good idea.
I assume there is no way you can try yr amps on the speakers before you buy?
