I'm thinking of separating the preamp from the rest of the system. (I want
to keep the preamp in front of the listening position, but I'd rather get
the amps and processor boxes out of the way.) The preamp is line level with
unbalanced outputs, and the receiver is an active crossover which has
balanced inputs. Would an unbalanced interconnect, say 10m long, be likely
to have a problem?

I mention the balanced input of the active crossover because, somewhere in
my system's future, are mods to the preamp to add remote control volume and
source selection. If there is a possibility of some sort of degradation that
a balanced line would fix, then it would make sense to include a balanced
output in my plans for the preamp.
