Use Dual XLR to Dual RCA Cables or Use RCA to RCA on Subwoofers

Pro-long runs, .. XLR of course, but home, short runs?

Secure connections are advantageous, that’s the only advantage I found using XLR.

I had already changed all my interconnects to Locking RCA connectors. You can wiggle the heck out of anything, anywhere, without inadvertently causing/disturbing a connection.

My CD/SACD player has XLR. I tried, no difference in sound, but nice secure snap in connection. Easier than Locking RCA’s.

If room behind is limited, they make right angle XLR

bargain hunter that I am, I bought 2 component cables, peeled them apart and got 3 pairs 6’ long with locking ends

they come in longer lengths, and many pre-made interconnects exist

Ditto. Both are the same. Not bananas and plantains.

Might as well be decided by cost. Unless you go XLR to BNC. Then it will cost a lot more for  a modest improvement in security.

There is no benefit or advantage to going from XLR to RCA there is nothing "magic" about XLR.
