Snell E3 speakers

[Veees]

Hello! New here. Trying to put an old system together. I have a chance to pick up a pair of Snell E3 speakers local for $175. Sounds like a good deal. The thing is, I have a mid-70's Sansui QR4500 receiver. It only puts out rated 27w per channel. Would this be enough to drive these speakers? Is $175 a good price?
Thxs!

I've heard some larger Snell speakers and really liked them.

Here are some positive reviews of Snell C/V and E3 speakers. Sounds like they may be pretty efficient, not sure:
