they do not have a way to connect a fully balanced and floating amplifier to their grounded high level input. So even though they clearly indicate the low level connection is inferior, that's the only choice that works with the likes of the McIntosh MC 402 and MC 602. Other McIntosh amplifiers may be different and may work - I just don't have personal experience with them.

Your comment is 1/2 correct, as I stated earlier connect the blk. wire to the gnd. side of a RCA input on the amp or run a separate wire from amp RCA to sub input RCA. This works perfectly and allows use of the Neutrik connection. I have done this on several REL subs without issue. It is a shame REL has not discovered this and provided it to their customers.
