Need advice on a passive subwoofer
Why do you want passive? It only makes things more complex.Why do you want 4ohms? That's usually disadvantageous since it will parallel what you now have.Kal 
McCormack DNA1 stability
Goertz supplies RC units to fix this problem, if you have it.Kal

Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
Use independant measurements (RoomEQWizard, ETF, TrueRTA) and set the EQ manually. This might have been easier with RoomEQWizard software and BFD1124Pro.Kal 
Hooking up additional amps
You seem confused: :If I go with these or any other monos, I would have to actually have to get tri-wire to connect the speakers unless the amps have dual posts for bi-amping." Dual posts are for biwiring, not biamping.But, yes, you can use any an... 
Hooking up additional amps
You can do what you describe but, as Rwwear has pointed out, you will need to encorporate some way to balance each amp to compensate for their different gain and for the difference in the Line 3's output levels between balanced and SE. You can eli... 
powering up pre-amp
That should be fine. Note that these rules are only to prevent any turn on/off transients in the preamp from reaching your speakers. If the preamp has no such transients, then the procedure is only insurance.Kal 
Bi-wire options

Bi-wire options
Biwiring requires two sets of cables so I do not see how any of your described options apply. Kal 
Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player
Right you are. I was unaware of this unit and mistook it for a more modern one.Nonetheless, is it possible that the OP's problem discs lack a stereo DSD program track (even though he says they are all hybrid)? Do we know which ones these are?Kal 
Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player
What do you mean "2 channel only machines?" AFAIK, these are MCH machines. If you have them set up for 2 channel and these particular SACDs lack a stereo DSD track, they may not be able to do anything since there's no downsampling permitted.Kal 
Need help integrating my sub. Is an EQ the answer?
I know the Revel system and it's pretty good. The Velodyne EQ is much more configurable and easier to use.Kal 
Need help integrating my sub. Is an EQ the answer?
Acoustic treatments are almost always a better alternative, if you can afford them. As for purists, I wonder if they would have any valid objections to EQing the subwoofer. The Rives is nice but for lots less there's the Onix R-DES and the soon-to...
