REL Subwoofer: Speakon or RCA?

So, I'm currently connecting my Rogue Cronus Magnum amp to my REL Subwoofer using L/R RCA Cables. I'm leaving the amp via its variable output L/R RCA connection to the REL subwoofer L/R RCA inputs. I'm satisfied with the results. But now am wondering if, practically, I would hear an improvement (if so where? how?) if I switched to the Speakon cable for connection type. What do you think?

Speakon is the way to go...BUT be very careful how you do the set up and look at the videos above. Speakon is a balanced connection and that needs to be considered when hooking up to a balanced amp. 
There are other variables depending on your amp type, but the videos do a good job of covering them.

great post, you know this as a total fact and you have heard all of the possible combinations of Rel and ancillary gear.
Nice to know your opinion...even though you conveniently forgot to add....imho.
IMHO.
