I biamp with completely different amps with no external crossover.
For bottom end I use Sunfire Symphonic Ref and for the top end I use VTL MB100.
VTL has sensitivity 30% larger than Sunfire but Sunfire has substantially(20%) larger gain than VTL.
I use for that purpose balanced line converter with adjustable levels thus taming the gain of Sunfire to reach tonal balance with VTL.
Ratings of Sunfire is 250W/8Ohms and 500W/4Ohms
Ratings of VTL is 120W/8 and 4Ohms.
Since I tame the gain of Sunfire by approximately 10%(taking onto consideration an input sencitivity difference),
I can assume that the output power of Sunfire is decreased accordingly(may not be exactly precise) so the total output power figures approximately 345W/8Ohms and 570W/4Ohms.
Please note that I wasn't willing to perform a precise calculations and adjusted the levels of amps by ear through playing my reference recordings with voice, piano, orchestra and instrumentals.
Sounds terrific!
