RE: I could be wrong but...

From my limited understanding the pre-amp "sees" the current loads on each set of outputs as cumulative loads, not independent, isolated loads. If there's too much of an imbalance (ratio of output:input less than 1:10) in the resulting impedance the pre-amp may not be able to efficiently drive the signal to either set of outputs and you can end up with considerable distortion at both ends of the frequency spectrum, especially the bass.

I'm fairly certain that's what was happening to my setup. I may have the technological aspects wrong but putting the buffers into play solved the problem.
