Spectron musician ii hybrid monoblock question

Greetings,
i was wondering if some question users can offer a bit of help. I am currently running a pair of spectron musician ii hybrids in monoblock with a Balanced Y splitter made by Jim Aud of PAD. One side of the splitter is reverse polarity as the older musicians do not have a phase switch on them.

I'm looking to add a new preamp that has two sets of balanced xlr outputs (possibly ARC LS17-SE). Would it be possible (or make sense) to use two seperate XLR cables for each amp, one in phase and the other out of phase, to remove the Y splitter? 

Thanks in advance

For the ARC:
INPUT IMPEDANCE
120K ohms Balanced, 60K ohms SE. 

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
600 ohms Balanced, 300 ohms SE Main (2). 20K ohms minimum load and 2000pF maximum capacitance. Outputs (3): 

spectron has an input of 50k ohms

Sorry I hit send too soon
i thought the thinking was the Amps input imp should be 10x higher than the preamps output (I could be wrong). Or maybe I am not considering the fact that I'm using the amps in mono? Would the amps input impedance be different in stereo vs mono? I couldn't find anything concrete but I'll see what I can research

Good info, thanks very much for your knowledge. I'll defiantly give ARC a call and pose that question to them
