Sid, this might help - just on 17 years ago I purchased a pair of LAMM ML2 amps direct from LAMM as at that time there was no LAMM distributor in my country. Two months ago I sold them to someone in Japan as I had replaced them with a new pair of ML2.2s. The ML2s operated faultlessly for the entire time I owned them, I replaced the valves every couple of years, sourced from LAMM and never had a tube failure at any time. Lamm's support was always helpful, professional and friendly. I received the ML2.2s before letting the ML2s go and what impressed me - in fact amazed me was just how competitive they still were 17 years later. The guy who purchased them is very pleased with them. He reported that he simply switched the voltage from 240v to 100v, changed the fuses, switched on and re-biased the units and within an hour had great music..........I almost had a pang of seller's remorse!
Personally, I wouldn't hesitate.
