Follow up questions regarding my NAD C375BEE

I recently placed a posting regarding the protection circuit activating on my NAD C375BEE running Totem Model One Signature speakers. A poster on another forum indicated that the NAD is not robust enough to operate at the impedance load presented by the Totems and that I have damaged the amplifier. Prior to my purchase I did some internet research and found many folks running Totem speakers (including the Mani 2!) using NAD amplification without this issue. Any information or guidance regarding this dilemma would be greatly appreciated. If any readers noticed my first posting I failed to include my REL Strata II subwoofer in my roster of equipment. The REL developed a hum when I introduced the NAD into my system. Coincidence or related to my problem?
Thank you, Joseph

Wow, I was going to say the suggestion that the NAD can't handle the Totems is ridiculous. Something else is going on there.

Update:
It looks like the OP started a thread at Audioholics at the same time, it's about the NAD C375, Totem Ones as well with the NAD protection circuit activating too. Later on in that thread, he adds that his previous integrated, an Anthem 225, had issues too. One speaker was much quieter so he had to adjust the balance knob and decided the Anthem was going and bought the NAD.

Now the NAD needs the balance adjusted too, but it's shutting down as well. Anyway, it's all there in the thread, 2 capable guys are helping him and they think the Totem ones or the sub is damaged.
