Not unless you modify the 20.7 crossover to allow biamping. Otherwise the amp is going to be strained since the 20.7 are inefficient. If you need to raise the impedance of the top end section of the Odyssey then consider an autoformer to match up impedances.

The amp does not have trouble driving the logans Just wondering if the Maggie's would give an easier load to the amp the odysseys are not that efficient either I would have to check the spec
The 20.7 do give the amp an easier and less reactive load. If you want to avoid the warranty issue and save some funds, go for a used 20.1 and biamp it with an external crossover, then you can use 4 channels on the amp and have it see a mostly resistive load.
If the speaker is older and eventually suffers delamination the repair for both speakers + original cost should add up to to about half the cost of a 20..7.
