sonicjohnny,I have a 2235 (bought new) and about ten years ago bought a 2275. Two frinds have 2270s, so I've heard this one some too.
Perhaps I'm prejudiced by famialiarity-having the 2235 since 1973, but of the three models I still prefer the 2235- it's just a bit smoother- less grain- and little sweeter, better mids, and lighter on it's feet (dynamic) than either of the higher power ones.
I use Spectrum 208 speakers which are not too efficient and at the levels I listen I don't notice that the 2275 is substantially more authoritative.
By the way, since 1973, in continual use first in England and the US, the 2235 has only ever had one repair- panel lamp!
This probably doesn't help!
Cheers,
