The 'wicked' impedance of treble does NOT MATTER if all your amp is pushing is a few watts at most to the treble.
An amplifier which can manage at all doing low impedance does way better if the load is small. Tweeters are a really small load.
So biamping, and the bass has a reasonable 4 ohms.. no problem.
IMO you are really over thinking this.
The notion of swapping speakers just to ease the no-problem imaginary load issue on your amp is really crazy overthinking.
