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..

Thank you to all for your considered responses and advice. Almarg I very much appreciate the equipment research you have undertaken on my behalf. Taking all the advice together, it would seem that the benefits may be limited and the implementation could be tricky. I will think it over. Thanks again this is exactly the sort of advice I needed.

Thanks Giri. The WWP’s have two separate binding posts connected via an external cable so the two sections (woofer & mid/tweeter) can be separated. I Thought this would mean that one passive crossover would be by-passed, however,  I have no idea how they are constructed so you may be right.

I am going to drop the bi-amping idea with thanks to everyone for steering me away from this.
