RE: Questions about balanced and unbalanced interconnects

"I was not previously aware that internally balanced amplifiers loose power if fed with an RCA-to-XLR adapter and I would be interested to know why this is."

They don't necessarily lose power, they lose voltage gain. That's just due to seeing only half of the applied voltage. Probably the gain structure is such that that's still plenty to drive them to clipping so all you have to do to 'fix' it is to turn up the volume.
