If you an get your hands on one A S/H ME 240. There happens to be one on eBay Australia right now. The one for sale is the standard model. I owned the remote control Hi cap option version. I don't know the seller so I cannot comment on the actual condition. All I know is when I owned it I loved it. It was my first real taste of high end amplification for speakers anyway.
Biased at about 2.4 watts RMS in class A with precision A/B switching for a total of 90 watts RMS into 8 Ohms and I measured 125 into 4 Ohms. Point being this little freak sounds as good as the early Krells that I have heard and features technology that still makes most modern high end look agricultural. It may look svelte but it can deliver 42 amps into transient musical peaks. It sounds way more ballsy than the ratings suggest. You likely haven't heard your JBL's at their best yet. You will with this. Problem for you is that you would need to run a step up transformer for Aussie 240v Small price to pay for sonic bliss. Into tubes now and only run transistor amps in my computer room. Cheers
