Default Powerful enough for my speakers?

Hello,

I'm considering buying a Teac 300DAB mini system, but keeping my old
Morduant Short MS3.30 speakers. The specs of the amp (AH-300MkII) say
"45W + 45W (6 1/2, 1kHz, 0.5% THD)". This means little to me, but I
guess that the 6.5 is the impedance, so the amp can do something like
35W RMS per channel to my 8ohm speakers.

Is this enough power? My living room is quite large at about 5m x 6m and
is carpeted, but I don't play my music particularly loud.

If it's just not powerful enough, I guess I'll go to Richer Sounds and
buy a 540A+540C+640T combo, but it's bigger and costs approx £600.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Chris.
