Benefits of Bi-Amping high-powered amps?


I have a class D Spectron Musician amp that is rated at 500w into 8 ohms. My speakers, Von Schweikert 4.5 III's, are rated at 89db and 6 ohm at which the Musician outputs 600w. Would there be any reason to vertically bi-amp these amps? They seems to have alot of headroom as it is. Does it make sense to bi-amp high output amps?
Thanks for your thoughts.

In reality bi-amping or any multiple amped system will be a far better sound than single amping. The reason is that each amp only has to work in a certain frequency range increasing all the impotant parameters associated with playback. Tha misconception is that two or more amps on todays popular speakers is delivering the same advantages as using active crossovers. The amp still operates at full bandwidth and is not nearly as efficient as one playing a limited frequency range. The limiting factor is cost. The speake cannot contain internal crossovers and must allow for true bi-amp capability and away we go with the dough. I don't mean it cannot contain any crossover as most mid and tweet sectionns still will have something to limit there range but if this is done electrically it is way better. Just my opinion.
