Guido - I appreciate all your dilegence.
Interestingly enough, REL in their manuals suggest that the optimal way to connect to their SUBS is to the speaker terminals:
"It is helpful to know that you will almost always connect the REL to the input on the
rear panel labelled HIGH LEVEL. This connection is made using the supplied 34
10 (10 meters) cable, the bare leads of which connect to the speaker output
terminals of the power amplifier. The easy and foolproof connection at the REL is
done with a Neutrik Speakon connector. The purpose of connecting to the speaker
output terminals is one of the unique secrets of RELs success. By connecting to the
high level input on the REL from the amplifier, you build forward the sonic signature of
your main system, including the tonal balance and timing cues of the entire
electronics chain. In this way, the REL is fed the exact signal that is fed to the main
speakers."
As I wade deeper into the audiophile pool the water gets more murky :)
Thanks!
