It sounds like the Shiva may still be a bit hungry for power, but also keep in mind the Radio Shack SPL meter's low frequency inaccuracy . This is obviously not the problem that you are encountering (unless you're using a 10Hz test tone, which the 950 certainly doesn't do and I doubt Avia does either ), but it may be useful as you get further along.
