Proac Studio 100 - will 35 wpc be enough?

Hi all, I am looking for advice from this competent forum. I am about to pull the trigger on a used Proac Studio 100 for about 500 USD (3500 Swedish crowns) which seems to be a good price. I have a tube amplifier, JJ Electronics 543, with 35 wpc. Does anyone know if that will be enought. I have read some mixed opinions about amplifier to the Proacs with opinions of them matching well with tubeamps, but also needs a lot of Power. Any experiences on this subject is highly appriciated!

Many thanks in advance.

/Chris

I am a bit surprised that there are no posts by those who insist that they get better sound running their 104 db/w speakers with something like 200 watt amps instead of whimpy 100 watt amps.

Most of the amps I like are lower-powered so I agree with the consensus above.  I have heard the Tablettes, which are less efficient than the Pro Studio 100s, sound very good in a dealer's showroom that is about 20' by 25'.  The speakers are mostly demonstrated with 15 to 30 watt tube amps.
