@cleopt15,
1 You confide "I don’t need loud music "
2 You listening room is small (10’ x8’) and by default your listening distance from the speakers will be relatively close.
John Atkinson who performed the Stereophile measurement testing wrote, "The ME1 is a relatively easy load for the amplifier to drive".
Minimum load impedance is 3.9 ohms.
Sensitivity is 86 db at 2.83 v at 1 meter (4 ohm load so required 2 watts rather than 1 watt if were an 8 ohm load). So a lower sensitivity speaker.
However given your stated requirements and room dimensions I believe that your 845 SET amplifier under these circumstances will serve you well. If your typical listening levels are below 80 db you’re using less than I watt of power. In this scenarios the ’amplifier watt/power quality is a bigger factor ( The well known first watt idea from Nelson Pass who stressed its importance) than the quantity of watts. If your SET has high quality output transformers and power supply you shouldn’t be just fine.
