Why 2.7s? The last time I saw a pair of 2.7s for audition in a store was 1996.
I could be wrong here, but I’m pretty sure the current 1.7i design is at least the equal of the old 2.7s. and to paraphrase mofimadness, with 900 wpc into 4 ohms, your Bryston won’t even be breaking a sweat.
I power my 1.7s with a Bryston PMF1150B, rated at 100 wpc into 8 ohms, and probably close to 200 into 4 ohms. The speakers are in an open architecture living room--totally open to the hall and dining room with 15’ high cathedral ceiling. The Perreaux drives them louder than I can stand (playing big band and fullscale orchestra) and stays clean all the way.
Your Bryston could probably power a mid-sized town. :)
I have to admit, however, that when I auditioned some 2.7s in 1996, I liked'em better than the 3.5s (or 3.6?) even though the sales rep was pushing the 3.x series as superior.
