    I wouldn't bi-amp using two different amps with different power rating. It might make the speaker too unbalanced

    I'd be more worried about the input gain instead of max power rating of the amp. If the gain is not exactly the same then you'll wind up with a really bright or really dull sounding speaker.

    As for the power output, the tweeter/mids handles much less power than the bass section so you can use a smaller amp- just make sure the gains are the same.
