While not present to the point of ruining the experience, I would love to reduce the background hiss coming from the MF and HF horns/drivers.
ML2 should be absolutely silent. Pretty much it you drive with ML2 a 110dB sensitive driver loaded into a horn then sticking you head into the horn you should not be able to say if amps is on or off. Sure, you have to lift ground on the ML2, that is pretty much default operation mode on any amp. So, if you have a MF or HF hiss with ML2 then it is most likely comes from your preamp. Short the ML2’s inputs and the hiss should be gone. Most of the preamps (including Lamm’s own SS preamps) are no equipped noise-wise to work with 110dB sensitive load.

I have also noticed a shift in the music ….. I've certainly been adding more and more complex music …. this is stuff I used to avoid... no longer the case. And simpler music sounds... simple.

I think nothing further could be said about ML2.0, this sumizes it all.
