Are you suggesting : 1) Running the upper bass horn from a second ML2 ? 2) Running the lower bass enclosures (sealed boxes) from a second ML2 ? 3) Running both the upper bass horn and lower bass enclosures (sealed boxes) from a second ML2 ?
I was suggesting to try to run the lower bass enclosures (sealed boxes) from a second ML2.

I don't expect there would be much benefit in running the lower bass enclosures (sealed boxes) from a second ML2s, but I could be wrong.
This is exactly the virtue of the experiment. I did have the same ML2 + M1.1 and the M1.1 has phenomenal bass. One day I put the second ML2.0 to drive my lower bass section, you would need to play with loading. It was “different type” of bass. You might or might not like it but I assure you that it will be educational and you would need a half hour to do it.

I have not tried this... I had been meaning to make sure it would not some how result in damage before doing so (was planning to ask Lamm... Up to now I've been using the 16 Ohm taps).
…and what make you to believe that Lamm will tell you truth? Anyhow, you WILL NOT damage the amp but you will need to play more with loading, plate current and plate voltage. Lamm runs his 6C33C at relatively low voltage and high current that make me to wonder if he use a partially demagnetizing coil in his output transformer to extend the transformer LF response. When I have ML2 I did not paid attention to all of it and now it is hard to say anything….
