I've had decent but not outstanding results bi-amping and that was with very similarly spec'd amps. The extra equipment, cables, matching levels, and tweaking cross-overs wasn't worth the hassle for me.In the end I found it much easier to use a single larger amp of higher quality which produced noticeably better results.
In your setup the mismatched amps have wildly different specs for power and input sensitivity so you're starting off with an even bigger disadvantage to work through.
Just my 2-cents worth of course.
P.S. - I have similar feelings about subwoofers. They can help but they're a royal pain to 'get right' in a particular room to integrate seamlessly with the other gear. Bigger amp & bigger speaker is my preferred route vs a subwoofer.
