mixing tube and solid state amps


I currently am driving N802's with a CJ2500. Is it a good idea to bi-amp with a tube amp? Solid state for the bottom, tubes for the mid's and high's.

Yes, It works well. I have a C-J Premier 11 tube amp and a C-J MF2250 being fed with two sets of pre-amp cables from my C-J Premier 17LS. I have then two seperate sets of speaker cables, one from each amp to the speakers. The tube amp powers the mid/high frequency. The solid state amp powers the bass. Not all speakers have two seperate hook ups, so beware. I went to this set-up because I felt the bass from the 11 was 'lacking'. It lacks no longer, and I get to keep the sweet sounding tubes at the mid/high frequency, where they sound their best!
