OTOH I may look into possibilites of conversion of US amps to 240v and try acquiring an amp in the US (I will be in the US next month)

Be careful! Some manufacturers go to extreme lengths to protect their distributors and intentionally prevent you from doing this. eg. ML. The power supplies are designed not to work on 50Hz, so even if you rewire them to 240v, they'll fail on the 50Hz supply.
