If you want bass, then bi-amp. You can do it actively or passively.For your bass amp, you could use the Krell, but it would be overkill because it sounds so good and you would be missing the midrange and treble provided by that unit. It could be an alternate amp to your Six Pacs.
If you want to bi-amp on the cheap, try an Adcom GFA 5500. You can pick one up in mint condition for about $600. It delivers 350 watts into 4 ohms and has a damping factor greater than 700.
Or you could try a used Proceed HPA2. It pumps out 500 watts into 4 ohms and has a damping factor greater than 800. Last, but not least, a used Belles 350A generates 350 or so watts into 4 ohms and has a damping factor greater than 1200. The new Halo A21 has similar specs and has a rotary control for gain, which is important when balancing it with your Six Pacs.
For an active crossover, try Marchand Electronics. For a passive attenuator to balance the gain of your two amps, try the Ultimate Attenuator from Tweak.com.

In my own system, I plan to use the Adcom and one tubed unit from the following: Conrad-Johnson Premier 140, McIntosh MC275 monblocks, Quicksilver V4 monos, or Music Reference RM200. I plan to use a passive attenuator from Tweak.
Best of luck!
