Max wpc for Acoustic Research AR-90s?

Yeah, I plan to refoam myself. A local fella has volunteered to help me do the first set for me to learn. He has a garage full of AR stuff! I've ordered the 8" set from vintage-ar, but the 10" set currently on ebay doesn't say it's for the AR-90 m...

Do I need preamp?
