biamping Usher BE-20's

I was thinking of biamping my Usher BE-20's. My Audio Research 210's would drive the mids/tweets and maybe one of the class D amps for the bass. I'm thinking Wired4sound, Bel Canto 1000's or??? The 210's are rated at 27db gain so I figure if I can get a bass amp/s with the same gain it should work good? I can always get the Endler attenuators if needed for the bass amps. Any suggestions/opinions about how this might work and sound? I'm a little concerned about the 540hz bass/mid xover point on the 20's - 540 seems kinda high to me.
thanks!

Great way to do it, Class-D's are good at bass, just make sure it has more gain than the AR, and an input level control on it so you can level match it to at AR, if not just get a cheap passive volume control for it. like the $49 Schiit Sys.
