The Lamm ML2.0 is very fine amp and it would be VERY hard to beat it with S2. Milq or other amps should not be the answers if you have nothing negative to say about ML2.0. There is however two things that I might propose you to do just sake of discovery of possible.
1) If you are not in very large room and your bass section are not 90dB sensitive then take one of yours left ML2.0, bring it to right channel and drive with it the right’s channel bass system instead of M1.1. It will be mono and it will be ML2.0 driving bass and HF of your right channel. See if you like the result what ML2.0 does with bass. Be careful though. What I did this experiment it cost me $15.000 for another pair of ML2.0. If you do so then post what you discover.
2) Driving your 4 horn from a single ML2.0 you might feel a need to slightly alter harmonic structure for one of the channels. You still might do it to a degree with a single ML2.0. The ML2.0 has 3 taps: 4 Ohm, 8Ohm and 16Ohm. You might run each channel from own tap. The more ML2.0 will be load then more harmonics and fewer transients you will have. Mitigating between the taps mapping to the channels it is possible slightly optimize the results with respect to the specific drivers. Of course it would be more fun if ML2.0 expose outside 14-20 re-mapable sections instead of just 3 taps then you would have more leverage but it would be another story…
