10 db or 20 db attenuator?
@almarg True, true...B 
Back to the drawing board
@tomic601 +1, as always.I was going to mention the sub 3's, but you beat me to it.If the OP has the 2wq's, I think he should try them before getting the SVS or REL. The crossover makes it so easy and seamless, at least to me.Plus, the Vandy's are ...

A Better Bluesound AC Cable?

DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA
I don't know much about McIntosh, but always thought they had a great reputation.What you are describing isn't something that should be happening.You have done everything correctly, and the issue persists, so it would seem the problem is equipment...
