I prefer to biamp with two identical amps. It solves the problem of matching gain and I think the integration across the audio spectrum is better.
BTW, there are two ways to actively biamp - vertically and horizontally. In vertical biamping, there is one stereo amp for each speaker, similar to monoblocks - stereoblocks if you will. With horizontal biamping one amp handles the two bass channels, and the other handles the two treble channels. In order to vertically biamp, the amplifiers need to be identical. The advantage of horizontal biamping is that you can use two different amps. As I said, I prefer using identical amps and vertically biamping. This allowed me to place the amps right behind the speakers and use eight 2' pieces of 16 AWG magnet wire for the speaker cables. The IC's were balanced and unaffected by the long runs. Balanced IC's are much less affected by materials and construction compared to unbalanced and consequently much cheaper.
