[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8464773, member: 540940"] Speaker level inputs step down voltage and current too. I'm no engineer, but a little searching indicates LOC's use a transformer, high level inputs use a resistor circuit. With this particular amp - being built purely for small chassis size -- I just have doubts that the speaker level inputs are of great quality. Maybe they are. There's certainly no reason not to try them as it would simplify the installation quite a bit. If there are issues you can troubleshoot at that point. I wouldn't -- I don't see any advantage. According to the manual you just need to cut the female rca's off the input adapters that are included with the amp and connect your speaker wire inputs at that point. Running speaker wire all the way to the amp is a good thing -- it's high voltage, probably balanced signal. Almost no chance of any noise being induced. I'm not sure if that RF adapter is just a connection adapter or if it has a resistor/step-down type circuit in it -- either way, I don't see any benefit. [/QUOTE]
