Wilson audio 3.2 speaker

I just brought Wilson audio 3.2 speaker and Mark Levinsion 23 dual mono amp. I am out of money so I used pre-amp Audio Increable Module 2. Somehow ML Amp doesn't have RCA connector and preamp doesn't have XRL connectors. I am trying to order camac/RCA to connnect preapm and amp. First, I tried to buy XRL/RCA. Sounds are very soft not loud with speaker even I turn almost end of the volume. I think maybe the connector. I do not know that camac/RCA does have the problem as XRL/RCA. Please advice me. I maybe think about buy Makr Levinsion preamp but can't affort now. Is this true that MK 23 can not handle Wilson audio 3.2 or my connectors are wrong?

If you mean Audible Illusions Model 2 preamp then you need to flip the + and - speaker ends on the Speaker Side (not the amp side) as it inverts polarity. This would cause a lean or sucking out of the vocals/mids. Also the input impedence on the XLR inputs is higher than the Audible outputs so once you get the adapter you should get more output from the amp.
XLR is 110ohm and RCA is 50ohm.

Someone else will clean up/correct my responce but the concept is correct.

I think you need the carmac to RCA (call or email Levinson) to get the right impedence. You said the XLR to RCA is too soft.
