Bif,
I'm glad I came across this and thanks for your input on the postings regarding the impedance buffer from Tom Tutay.
Here is what I got:
Main 1 (ARC Ref 250) 200,000 ohms X Main 2 (REL Gibraltar Sub) 10,000 ohms/(Ref 250) 200,00 ohms + (REL G1) 10,000 ohms = 9,524 ohms.
This is below the recommended. I would run both mains out balanced (with balanced to single ended Cardas adaptors at the main out from the preamp) but it still is below the recommended 20K ohms for the Ref 5SE.
I really wanted to go all ARC for synergy, but I'm not sure anymore.
