Actually the S100 is by far more efficient than the prelude. I have the S100s and in the past 15 years I have driven them with many tube amps, starting with Marantz 8b (35 watt per channel) to Marantz 9, 70 watt per mono block.
The S100 are very efficient and up to now the best speaker I could find for tube amps. As long as you have 20 watts available, you are just fine.
