P.S: It occurs to me that the 100K input impedance of the BAT amp probably means 50K for each of the two signals in the balanced signal pair, and the measured 14K balanced output impedance of the preamp at 20 Hz (assuming the Six-Pak is not installed) probably means 7K for each signal. So when the subs are connected the one signal in the balanced signal pair that is connected to both the sub and the power amp would be loaded by 50K in parallel with 50K, which is 25K. 25K/7K is a ratio of about 3.6, still not good! Also, there would be a significant imbalance between the impedances of the two signals in the balanced signal pair, given the high output impedance of the preamp, which is also not good.
All of this assumes, though, that the balanced and unbalanced outputs of the preamp are not driven by separate and independent output stages. That is the case with most preamps which provide both balanced and unbalanced outputs, but I don’t know for a fact whether or not it is the case here.
