It's that 15" woofer that is needing lots of power. JBL 4365 on the back has binding posts for high/mid and another for low, so it's fairly easy to try. I run 300B on my compression driver and class AB SS on woofer, which sounds much more coherent than many would believe..

This was probably the best response to this post - I am surprised that others have not jumped on board. Use the low powered SET amp for the highs and a grunt amp for the woofer. Biamping works great for my setup.

  I looked at some literature about these speakers, and it seems that to use a SET amp with the tweeters, you could not simply connect the SET amp to the tweeter terminals; the tweeter crossover would have to be bypassed and another crossover used in its place. This is because the tweeter crossover is designed to reduce the output of the high frequencies to match the level of the woofer and connecting a SET amp to the tweeter terminals would continue to suffer this reduced output. If wanting to use a SET amp, using a different crossover would be the best way forward.
