I know the pa gear sonds like a dumb idea but the 2.7s are huge (over 6 ft) and im looking at budget ways to get some serious power to them. Im currently running a set of Monarchy Audio class a amps which are ok but obviously the big maggies would eat up some more power and put it to good use? is a pa amp an idea? i have balanced xlr outputs from my Nad dac so that side of it is covered and the other thing as mentioned above how do you tame sharp trebble in maggies in a medium room when you have a wife that forbids acoustic treatment?
get Crest Audio or Crown products which has good reputation which can handle low impedance 2 ohm
What's your budget like on the amp? And how much power are you looking for? There are some decent PA amps around, but there might be other options depending on your goals.
Fans are one thing to watch for on the PA amps. Some are quiet, some are not. Some only run when necessary, etc. I've seen people replace stock fans with quieter models, but I don't remember what brand amp that was.
You can likely add a resistor to the tweeter section to bring its level down. If your crossover is like this one, adding 1 ohm to the tweeter circuit should bring its level down about 2 dB. That will affect everything above about 4 kHz. Obviously the resistor value can be adjusted to suit your tastes.

How handy are you? Some acoustic treatments can be made to look very nice. This video goes through a couple different approaches and experiments.
There are also some nice looking acoustic treatments you can buy, but they're typically a bit expensive. These aren't the only ones, just one of the first links in a search.
