Can you convert balanced inputs to RCA inputs help

I have a pair of Aragon Palladium monoblocks and they are
much to my surprise Balanced Inputs.. I need to have them converted to RCA inputs... Where can I have such a thing done and is there an easier way, ie . rca to balanced input convertor or connector... am I compromising anything with that type of connector if it exists.. Balanced is not an option with my Reference 20 Processor...
Please Help
Kindly,
Joe DiMonte

I would suggest getting a pre/pro with balanced output rather than using an adapter. The Aragon amp has fairly low input sensitivity so you'll need a pre/pro with high output for the amp to reach its maximum power. I think with RCA outputs, you'll only get 50% of the output power of the amp.
At one time, I was interested in the amp also but didn't buy it for this reason. I had confirmed it with a tech at Aragon.
