B&W Matrix speakers owners preferably

I have a pair of B&W Matrix 800s. Powered by a Krell FPB 600 amp and a ARC Ref 6 preamp. I have them quad wired. I am extremely happy with the sound, but now I’m getting a big itch to bi amp them or quad amp them. I’m ready to pull the plug on an ARC ref 750 and I would like to use these for my tweeter and midrange and my Krell for my bass on my 800s. Can I do this for these speakers. ?? And what do u think on the sound ? BTW I only listen to CDs and I have a Rega ISIS. I also use a Krell B&W BAF. Bass alignment filters. . (2) balanced.  Thanks.  Mike.

I see what you are trying to do. The control of the krell for the lows and the purity of the 750's for Mids and Highs, I do the same on my Schweikert vr-8.

The Main thing is make sure you have a way of adjusting sensitivity of the input drive to the amps.

I tried this with a tube amp and Mark Levinson for the lows, Never could get the sensitivities correct.

That ARC will sound better the the krell
