couple 'a thoughts:
The amount of power per 'way' depends entirely on the crossover frequency. I'm told and will just accept the idea that the 50:50 power point is somewhere in the 300hz -> 400hz region.
An amp will 'amplify' whatever it's fed. So, fullrange siganl to each of 2 amps which THAN are into a crossover, lowpass and high pass for a 2-way speaker will NOT reap the full benefits of biamp.
Once you limit out of band needs, you'll gain as much as 3db power.
Going to 'pairs' of amps helps with all those timbre / tone matching problems and even the gain matching problems associated with tube/ss mish-mashes.
My panels cross at 600hz which is close to the 50:50 power point. Given that I cut the lowest bass to the panels, that reduces the need for power in the low end AND moves the 50:50 point higher in frequency.
And yes, for the obsessive / compulsive tinkerer, biamping is tailor made to provide a LIFETIME of nuttiness. You could go in small circles for decades without conclusion.
Too much is never enough
