Yamaha A-S2000 and REL-R305

Help please; I’m still a little confused here; not sure if the high level (speakers) out is permissible to feed my REL R-305 sub. I have two conflicting answers. Thanks.

The A-S2000 utilizes balanced amp design with a floating ground. Is it safe to use negative speaker terminal and feed to my sub without shorting out the amp’s output? Thanks again.

I really like the amp and I don't want to ruin it. I need a second opinion, please. Thanks.
