Exposure 2010S bi-amp to ATC 11 Speakers

I recently purchased a pair of ATC 11 which requires a powerful amp to drive. I really would like to use the Exposure to power them but it is not powerful enough.
Has anyone tried combining the available Exposure 2010S power amp with the integrated?
I have read a lot about the integrated on this site but I cannot find much on increasing the power by bi-amping with the power amp.
Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks.

By using two amps you are increasing the available energy (the current) which is a good thing.

I have never tried the your Exposure -- but have tried two other stereo power amps to drive SPendor S100s years ago. Unsurprisingly the result was better than with just one amp -- BUT I already OWNED the two amps, so I didn't have to buy anything more than speaker wire.

How would the power not be increased by bi-amping?
The amount if energy (available current) would increase.
But two amps, each outputting 75W, don't sum up to 150W. You simply have "MORE" of those 75W available...
