Default Main Speakers with 2 Subs

Greeting,

I've been tinkering with this scenario for some time and wanted to get some feedback from the forum.

I'm running Klipsch P39F as my mains, with a pair of Klipsch Palladium subs. Processor is McIntosh MX150, amps are McIntosh 501's. Currently I run the mains as XXL (full range), and also send a full range signal to the subs off the unbalanced Left and Right and have the stereo subs crossed over at 40 Hz. I'm getting great results, but i am thinking I might be driving the mains to hard and might get better headroom if I dont send the full range signal to the mains. Let's say, send full down to 40 Hz to the mains and biamp the subs from 40 Hz and below.

My original set up was that way, but I felt I wasn't getting all I can out of the mains.

Does anyone have any feedback or suggestions on how I can efficiently optimize my set up?

I also want to add I have a pair of JL Audio f113's on the way, that I'll be using as my LFE for all multichannel sources. Thanks Ivan. Once those are in I might buy another pair for the fronts and do away with the Klipsch Palladium subs. We will see how it works out.

Thanks for listening,

Scott
