Bi-amping ML Aerius i's.


I am planing to bi-amp a pair of Aerius i's with an Anthem Amp-1 (40 wpc push-pull using 4 EL34s) on the bottom and a pair of Joule Electra Stargate Monoblocks (30wpc SE using two 6C33CBs each) on panels. My pre is an assemblage (Sonic Frontiers)L-1, which will be upgraded later.
Appreciate if someone who has experience with this type of a combo could let me know if this is a sane idea.

My taste of music is mostly jazz (Diana Krall, Sarah Vaughan, Sonnie Rollins etc.) and small ensembles.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I use tubes, on my panel, ML Sequel ll, and solid state, on the woofer, and no external crossover. I bi-amp them, with the passive crossover, in the speaker. I think they sound magical. If anything, you might need more watts, or current, on the woofer, to tightly control it, but I think it will sound fine.
