I think I would probably agree that the major improvement is actively bi-amping.
Going to tri-amping, yes, is an advantage IMO - but nowhere near the improvement you get from going from passive XO between bass panels & mid/ribbons ... to active.
I can't comment on the effect of using different amp 'flavours' - as all my amps were ss, from the same designer.
And yes, not having the mid panel on the same sheet of mylar as the bass panel is a significant improvement! :-))
Re. a SET amp for the tweeters - I would think this would be risky ... as SET amps don't have much power. The last thing you want to do is get into clipping on the tweeter amps - in my last incarnation, I was using 40w into 4 ohm Class A amps (stable into 2 ohms) on my ribbons.
