Bi-amping with DEQX active crossover


I am thinking about using a DEQX HDP-4 to bi-amp a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 6's. I have agreed a price to buy a Class D Primare A34.2 amp with 150w which I could use for the woofers and then use my existing Class A mono's for the mid and tweeter. I will probably use a DEQX consultant to come and help set it up. I would be grateful for any advice and answers to the following questions.

1. Is this a good/bad idea? Wilson do not advocate bi-amping but they may have their own agenda.

2. Can anyone advise on the natural crossover for WWP's passive crossover circuit? What levels should I use for the high and low pass filters?  I have emailed Wilson but they have not responded and I doubt they will release this info.

Thanks for your help..

@soma70,

What are your existing Class A mono amps? 

From my experience, biampimg different amp brands often don’t produce desired results. I am currently using a Class D / Tube amp setup without an external crossover. It wasn’t easy and against all odds I have managed to mate the two amps in perfect harmony. 

More details / advise to follow once we know the spec of your Class A monoblocks. 

I hope @almarg chime in here, he was a tremendous help to me.
