Bi-Amping Possibility, which direction ?


One of my audio systems thinking about biamping.
Have a pair of Pass X600.5 mono amps & Class A Threshold SA/4e stereo amp. Would like to put X600's on the bottom and SA/4e on top for biamping a pair of Sonus Faber Extrema speakers.

I would like to keep the system totally Balance XLR.

My preamp is the Marantz Reference SC-7S1 preamp whichhas (1) Balance Output. But has two Unbalance RCA outputs. I love the Marantz Reference SC-7S1 preamp. But again want to keep Balance configuration.

Should I go out and look for a Balance XLR Passive Crossover ? What direction would you go ? Or how would you set up.

Thank you to all who help.

Look for a balanced active crossover, or have a custom 1 in 2 out balanced cable made. Not sure if preamp will optimally drive the latter configuration.
