Biamping KEF 107/2s

I've been planning to use true-biwire (separate cables to LF and mid-HF) between a Proceed Amp 3 and KEF 107/2s. But if I'm running two cables to each speaker anyway, I wonder about biamping. The Proceed HPA3 manual extols the virtues of biamping, and contends the crossovers of the speakers continue to distribute the frequencies appropriately to drivers than can handle them. I really don't want to blow a beautiful mid-HF unit of a 107/2.

Can anyone with experienced with biamping provide advice?

It turns out I'd missed the part of the KEF 107/2 manual that deals with biamping. Obviously KEF anticipated that 107/2s might be biamped and provides a schematic for it, using one stereo amp for LF (both speakers) and the other for MF/HF (both speakers). I've seen this called horizontal biamping, in contrast to vertical biamping in which one stereo amp drives both the LF and MF/HF of a single speaker.
