This issue has been touched upon but not precisely, when BOTH XLR and RCA outputs are being used simultaneously….
Setup: XLR out (via converter) to RCA monoblocks, short run, AND RCA out to dual subs with independent gain and crossover control.
Audible, unmeasured findings seem that once the subs were added the SQ on the XLR mains diminished somewhat. Without getting into the unbalanced - balanced debate, can anyone speak to the dual implementation as a possible strain on the R26, AND/OR is my volume level of listening of -40 (low-mod) to near 0 (quite loud db) is the optimal range?
