Brian, I purchased my JL-1's used from a local audio dealer (non-CAT). He advised the 100 watt specification.
Additionally, a web reviewer -- http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Amplifiers.html -- also advises the 100 watt rating.
Because I don't have a manual for the JL-1s, and Ken Steven's web site -- http://www.convergentaudio.com/products.htm -- is not fully operational, I certainly can't advise or find out the correct wattage. Perhaps someone that knows for sure, will be kind enough to do so -- I would certainly like to know.
Nevertheless, the JL-1s drive the Soundlabs with aplomb. Moreover, a contributor to the aforementioned web reviewer site advises his JL-2 does a great job.
