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

In most cases I am not a big fan of bridging amps into mono and prefer to bi-amp instead. I had a customer who was using two big 600 wpc. McIntosh amps bridged into mono and we unbridged them for him and set them up as vertically bi-amped stereo amps. He could play _much_ louder and the bass was much deeper. More current - that was the trick.
+1, vertical bi-amping = shorter speaker cable, less crosstalk.
