Bi-Amp Basics - NHT 29s

Ok, I think I know what to do here, but I wanted to get thoughts and opinions. I have a decent but dated NHT theater system consisting of 2.9 fronts, AC2 center, and HDP2 Surrounds. I am looking to improve the front sound state by upgrading to a new amp that will drive all five speakers, but using this new amp for only the top end of the 2.9 fronts, and utilizing my current amp to drive the bottom. To get this done, I need an RCA spliter to send the same signal to both amps, and then wire each amp to either the upper posts, or the lower posts (Correct)?

Just checking...

Anyone care to recommend a 5-channel for the NHT system (Upper only on the 2.9s), and a 2-channel for the bottom of the 2.9s?

Im a bit confused. If I did not want to use an active crossover, how would I bi-amp the 2.9's?

I am thinking of using Tubes for the Top end, and my Parasound for the bottom end.

That makes sense to me now. Luckily, the Parasound does have gain control, so I can calibrate it to match what ever amp I put to the top.
