Hooking up additional amps


I currently am using a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 preamp with an Aragon 8008BB amp. I am looking at picking up a pair of Vandersteen 4as and they need to be bi- or tri-wired. I saw a pair of mono amps that I am interested in and have the following question;

Can I use the Aragon for the woofers and use the monos for the mids and highs. The Line 3 has 2 balanced inputs and 2 single ended inputs for the amps. Can I use the 2 balanced ones for the monos and then connect the Aragon up to one of the single ended. If so, what benefits if any would I gain using a pair of single ended to xlr adapters to connect the Aragon.

Thanks in advanced for any and all assistance.

So just hooking them up the way I described would not be the correct way of doing it. I guessI also want to know is can I use the balanced and single ended connections period. Or is it one or the other? I am looking at a pair of Odyssey Mono Extremes. If I go with these or any other monos, I would have to actually have to get tri-wire to connect the speakers unless the amps have dual posts for bi-amping. It has been recommended to use a separate amp for the bass. That's why I was going to get the Odysseys. Now how about this, (too many questions and I really appreciate your responses...), if I lucked up on a pair of Aragon Palladium II, which should probably match more closely to the output level or the 8008BB, could I then preform the connection I described?
