Hi Everyone, Please help me understand my new balanced integrated Ayre-AX7e integrated amp. I'm scared to hook it up wrong and I can't wait any longer, I need to hear this thing. So before I connect anything, can someone please tell me what the heck this part of the owners manual is saying about the speakers outputs:

"The Ayre AX-7e drives the loudspeakers with balanced outputs. Since none of the output terminals are grounded, connecting any of them to ground may result in damage to the amplifier. Do not connect the loudspeaker outputs to any speaker switch-box, accessory, or test equipment that has a common ground connection"

Don't connect the negative speaker output terminals together. Some switch boxes have a common negative connection or are connected internally and only switch the positive wire.

Simply run positive and negative straight to the speaker for left and the same for the right speaker.
