I looked up the manuals on the Onkyo and Ashly 2001 amp and at a quick view couldn't find any settings to make when using the XLR connectors, and the amp only has XLR. So I'm almost thinking you have a bridging switch set incorrect? Or perhaps there is something in the Onkyo settigns that I (or you) didn't see regarding using those outputs.
Can you borrow a "regular" (non-XLR only) power amp from somebody with RCA cables and see if that works for you? Just to test where the issue is coming from. If the non-XLR amp works then you've narrowed it down to that set of outputs at least.

yes, I'll try that. I was hoping there was some dumb setting I missed and a member could direct me to. The mutes are fine.

I think the Ashlys sound a little better driven fully diff then with a non-ballanced converter.

My cheapo adcom tuner/pre can drive the amps to peak red at half volume.

I like the sound of the Onkyo but it sounds best below the -10db mark.

Thanks,
