Bi-amping B&W Nautilus 802's?


I am thinking of bi-amping my Nautilus 802's. I am currently driving them with a Krell 300i integrated, but this is not enough power and is a little sterile sounding as well. Any advice from those who have experience with bi-amping or with the B&W 802's?

Don't mean to crash the thread but I am very interested in bi amping .

My speakers are Tyler acoustic dx 1s . 90 db efficient .
Speakers have 4 8 inch bass drivers 2 7 inch midrange and a seas excel tweeter in each enclosure.
I am running them in a home theater and 2 channel set up .
Currently using a Cary v 12 r tube amp for mains .
50 watts triode and 100 watts ultra linear .

While I like the sound of the Cary it does not bring the bass alive .

Looking for suggestions for amps to try and very curious how to implement the Rane eq as mentioned .
I am also using an Integra dtc 9.8 pre pro .This does help with the bass by allowing me to run my subs with room correction .

My subs are 2 18.2 Chase home theater sealed subs with a Suntron MQ 600 amp .

I have read the Cary paper about using another v 12 r in a vertical bi amp configuration . I don't think I want to add more tubes with the cost associated and the heat with summer coming around the corner.

I would like some bass slam out of these speakers and of course get the best sound as possible .
