IF anyone is still reading this, i just received this email from Chuck at McIntosh today - seems to confirm everything i just read above:
Hi David,
Yes, the MC402 is Quad Balanced and can not be run with the negatives tied together, do not use the REL speaker level connector.
Connect low level from your preamp to the REL RCA inputs.
