What it must surely have is a very high dumping factor (above 300) and a high current output ( more than 20A continuous). Any suggestions apart from Bryston (that I have already auditioned)? Thank you!!!

Hi fragoulisnaval;645507,
Heard the PMC .26's recently with some higher-end naim electronics(NDS, 555PS, NAC252, SuperCap & NAP300).
Though articulate & coherent, at times to my ears they did betray a sense of dryness, not being quite as open & slightly more polite compared to the B&W802D's & Spendor D7's i also heard.
As it's been a while since your original post, not sure if you've found the power-amps to go with your PMC .26's yet.
If you're still looking i understand from PMC users among friends & on other forums you may find the better Electrocompaniet(AW250R stereo, AW180 mono or AW400 mono) & Primare power-amps(A32 stereo or A60 stereo) a decent match. And you can use balanced XLR cables with them too.
But, i believe that the Electrocompaniet AW400's have a power rating of: 400 W @ 8 Ohms/760 Watts @ 4 Ohms. And 150 Amps of peak current should be more than enough to keep your PMC's in check.
Don't mean to be s#&@ty, but i have to admit that i'm not 100% sure about their 'dumping factor.'
Even so. Be interested to know if you've heard them already &, if not, whether you would consider them.
Regards.
Babur.
