Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone?


I have recently bi-amped my system and the mids and hi's seemed to overpower the low end. The amps are identical so I just turned the volume down on the mid /hi amp. Is this normal in some systems or in a more perfect setup should I be making other tweaks to get the volume set on max for both?

the system is as follows: Snell CV speakers, pair NAD 2700 amps, Linn Kolektor pre, Rotel cd, Straightwire IC and speaker wire, APC conditioner, dedicated circuit, room is sound treated and trapped
RE: Bob
the amps do have volume controls for each channel. I am currently doing some testing tonight with the Rives cd and my SPL meter to replot the curve from my original baseline since I have moved the speakers and made some other tweaks. What frequency shoud I use for the test you are thinking of?

Re; Bach
The current crossovers are untouched. The snells I believe us woffers in parallel so I do not know if active crossovers would make much of a difference?
Thanks for the suggestion Bob reynolds. I have moved the wiring so that one channel of each amp runs the top end while the other channel runs the bottom. Sounds good but I still have the mid/hi channels turned down about 2 clicks.I will do some more testing and will read up on the active crowwover info.

Not bi-amping? hmmmm I think so. Yes the link was good but still the question remains concerning these Snells.
I will talk to Snell tomorrow and see what they say about bi amping and the possible difference in sensitivity of the drivers.
OK so Snell says biampinng is fine but active crossovers require more expertise than I have. For now I will concentrate on room tweaks and gear tweaks since there are many known issues there. Back to the salt mine.
Update:

Everything is sounding good now with no issues as to balance and volume. Still doing the vertical biamping with great results.
