You asked for advice. All I have is an opinion. so I’ll share it and feel free to ignore it: unless your amp is inadequate, it is generally a waste of time.
I will admit that using an SS amp on the bass might free up your tube amp.

Need advice for bi-amping or tri-amping Sonus Faber Aida speakers
I am thinking of bi-amping or tri-amping my original Sonus Faber Aida speakers and have two questions:
1. How can I tri-amp when my preamplifier only has two sets of balanced outputs to amplifiers?
2. The Aida manual says when bi- or tri-amping I need to use the same amplifiers for all three speaker connection posts. However, I have seen many posts recommending using powerful solid state amps for the bass connection and tube amps for the mid and treble connections. Which way should I go?
I’m currently using Audio Research Reference 160M tube amps to power the Aidas and have no complaints but I’ve read that bi- or tri-amping them will sound even better. Thanks for the help!
