I don't agree this setup being too difficult or impractical.....the only thing to be aware of is the possible level difference between the two amps, but as I said, if one of the amps has input level controls, they can be made equal in level. If both amps lack input level controls, it's always possible to add one to one of the amps. As for phase, they will be either in phase or out of phase with each other. This can be remedied by simply swapping the wires around on one of the amp's speaker connections. There is no "delay" between the differing amp's circuits that is of any practical significance. The difference between 100 watts and 200 watts is only 3db, which is actually very little in audible terms. Having a more powerful amp for the lows than the highs is actually standard practice.

One of the beauties of bi-amping is exactly that ability to match the best amplifier for the job to it's respective frequency range.
