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

Thank you Bigtee....I am not ignorant but certainly technologically challenged. How does one lift a ground? I will embarrass myself by inroducing a question whose answer is no doubt known to many, if not most! Thank you...Joseph

Easiest way is to use a cheater plug ... 3 prongs to 2 prongs plug.

Rar1, thank you. Believe it or not, that is what I thought but I wouldn't attempt that without the assurance from someone like yourself. Thank you!

Are you running the REL through the low level or the high level inputs?

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