owning a set of heavy legacy amps myself ...

Never heard your particular amps (those Hafler's were good), however I understand your concerns. My amps always make me smile (or cringe, depending on mastering quality), but many of these legacy components are terribly non-efficient, heavy, to some; ugly (i prefer industrial) and as they age, they require maintenance/service.

I'm a romantic, too a fault perhaps, because once I establish "luv" in sonic terms, divorce doesn't come easy (or cheap).
