Hi @Capitalcityguy,
did you try also the 4ohm outputs or just the 8 ones on your Mc?
In my system, very close to yours since I have the MA9500, the best sounding outputs are the 4.
Not only the bass control is much better but everything is better.
I believe your MA8950 is a great amp for the CW4.
The right positioning could not be so easy, I spent a lot of time to get the best.
