+4 is meant to be used if you feed it a pro-level balanced signal (2.83V for 0dB);
-10 if you feed it a consumer level single ended signal (0.7V for 0dB).

What is being fed in coming from a McIntosh pre-amp with RCA output, to XLR input on the monitor?

So it's an unbalanced signal and luckily you have pots and not just switches.
This means that your starting point is the -10dB setting.
All you need to do now is find a point around there at which you can make sensible use of the McIntoshs volume control but keep the noise level as low as possible.
