I did the same the other way around. Hz doesn't matter for the amp, it's all converted to DC inside anyway. If your amp doesn't have a switch to set it to 220v then you need to get a transformer with sufficient wattage.

I got the VC-2000 for sub-woofer and amp, enough to cover surge power consumption when turning the units on. I have a 12 year old Yamaha DSP-AX1, Rel subwoofer and Pioneer laserdisc player plugged into it and it all works fine. Don't forget to bring a power bar though to plug in multiple devices.
European tvs pretty much all accept 60hz ntsc as well, however I noticed that my tv here doesn't accept pal. It should be in the specs somewhere. Don't bother with a ntsc to pal converter, not worth it.
Shipping is cheap, for the minimum volume I could get I even took my crappy cabinets. I think I spend about the same as you on my surround setup and I'm glad I took it with me. Still sounds lovely after 12 years.
