Seems it is not worthwhile to acquire an amp running 220V rated. Each of the options have their drawbacks. Thanks to all for your replies.... hertz included. :)  
How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?

Should I Upgrade from an Edge G8 amp to the Edge NL-12 amp??

Should I Upgrade from an Edge G8 amp to the Edge NL-12 amp??
jond-  Good point, and thank you for the review info.  Each system has its components that it is most synergistic with.  Originally I thought the Forest Totems would be the better speaker choice.  But I'm on the same page thinking perhaps another ...

Dynamics & punch is probably be the best description. (Sorry, don't have a better description.)  I've rotated between the Totem Forest, Monitor Audio GS10 bookshelf and Aerial Acoustic 5B bookshelf.  So far the Aerials seem the liveliest of th... 
Can an accepted offer be a lowball offer too?
So you buy something and when received, it is not quite as advertised. Yes, and how does all this play out in the field of Feedback?  Neutral? Negative?  Or, bite your tongue... Positive?
