In Europe the proper connection is to 240V life wire and neutral and chassis
ground to safety ground.

Check your new 220 vac run.  Sounds like you have a hot + neutral  reversed
at one end of the new run.

Yes, or something similar.  Make sure that you feeding the amp with the 
two sides of 240 V, NOT between hot and neutral or hot and ground.

I don't know the L7, so I don't know if it uses 120V for anything (like 
a fan), but the proper connection of 240V is two hots and a ground, NOT 
neutral.  Neutral should be connected ONLY if there's a 4th wire in the 
amp cable for that 120V fan.
