Bi-amping CS400

I recently bi-amped my CS400 center channel in an attempt to smooth out some sharp treble ( I think that the amp is still breaking in). I ran the center channel amp from an Acurus 200 watt to the mids and the output from a Marantz MA500 monoblock also powering a CS350 in parallel. So the Marantz is seeing a 4 ohm load and the Acurus I believe an 8 ohm load.
Anyone see any problem with the hookup or an I sending too much juice to the speaker. Thanks.

    What?

    Break it down, input to output.

    MA500 - to single set of inputs on CS350, then wire from CS350 to
    Tweeter on CS400.
    Acurus - To Mid input on CS400.

    I did this because the Marantz seemed smoother on the treble.

    Thanks for your interest.
