Two different amps to horizontal bi amp?

I have Hales Designer Reference One speakers. They have three sets of post for speaker wire. I presently have one amp (Wingate 2000)class a amp. I have added a Sunfire signiture subwoofer to extend the lower registers but do not like the overall blending of the two. Here is my question / statement. I have an opportunity to purchase a Threshold S500 class a/b amp. I would use this to drive the woofers and use the Wingate to run the tweeter and mids. I feel the Threshold would elevate the bass performance and allow me to eliminate the sub woofer. Would this work? What kind of potential problems would or could I have?

Thanks

I personally think THE ONLY THING TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR BASS AMP is the Parasound stuff!!!! Not only are those amps RENOUNED for their dynamite bass impact,speed, and weight, but they are great value, and HAVE GAIN CONTROLS ON THE BACK FOR LEVEL MATCHING!!!...something your other amps won't! why spend bigger bucks on a higher end amp that will not surpass what the very flexible, well built, super strong bass performing, excellently priced PARASOUND'S will do!?!
I was using the Threshold T200(better amp) for a long time, and it was excellent! However for a BASS amplifier, I don't see using ANY OTHER AMP on the bass woofer than the Parasound! They're dynamite for that!
Anything from the HCA1500, HCA1200,HCA2200, HCA3500, or other bridged models should be excellent!
good luck
