Using different amps for biamping component woofer and tweeter?

What do you guys think of mixing different amp models between woofer and tweeter on components? For instance biamp some SR-6500's with a couple channels of Alpine PDX Class D on the woofers and couple channels of a class A/B amp for the tweeters?

Dont guess it would really matter much so long as the levels are matched.polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

yeah was just considering this for a couple reasons...
1.Tweeter doesn't need as much power
2.Not sure I am in love with the way the PDX sounds on the tweeter. I have a Class A/B Boston Acoustics amp that is about 80 or 90 w/ channel that has a much different sound on the 6500's. Seems to have more dynamics, more air, and warmth, a bit more laid back of a sound. Alpine sounds brighter, tighter, more assertive. The Boston fairs worse in the midbass department though compared to the PDX...sloppier. So maybe put those 135 W of the Alpine to the midbass, and the 80 w of the Boston to the Tweets.
My concern was just that it would upset the balance between woofer and tweeter...the two amps have quite different sounds.
