A 100 watt 70v amp will do it easily. Most transformers will have taps from .5 watts to 10 watts. Don't let the small wattage fool you, the speakers should still get a decent volume.
Sure, if you want to change the trafo's on 100 speakers. If he's never done it before, I wouldn't suggest it. We also don't know what kind of volume controls he's got. The whole system is probably wired for 8ohms if they're in fact 8 ohm speakers, too. In short, I'm not sure it's practical to install new trafo's.
