From everything I've read, the balanced outputs of the AK players measure worse than their single-ended outputs, especially under load.
I've read this too, but I say let your ears be the judge.
It sounds clearly better. I think I described the differences many pages back, during my shuffle back and forth
Also, I remember AK folks saying that with the 2nd generation of the 100/120, they decided not to only rely on measurements like they did with the first gen, but to also use their ears as a final check for what actually sounds good for tuning purposes.
My ears tell me the balanced sound amazingly nice, better than the single-ended. For me atleast
