Which speaker did you try, how big is your room, and how loud do you usually listen? I have used a Bryston 3B-ST with Proac Response 1.5s, Magnepan MG-12QRs, and Dynaudio Contour 3.0s in a 13' x 16' room. I don't really crank it as my downstairs neighbors reported me for shaking a picture off their wall.
While I would not consider Bryston amps powerhouses for driving 1 ohm loads, they are certainly adequate with a lot of typical speakers.
