I have a medium sized room right now. It gets loud with the Arrays with plenty of juice left from the amp(s). Again, since I love the reference system so much and will not change, are the Salons bi-ampable? Would I need an active crossover? How about some nice tubes on top...?

I don't know if the Salons are biampable? Hope this provides a point of reference. My room is 14X31 and I'm driving Thiel 3.7's which are power hungry. My system will play extremely loud and has never run out of power.

They are biampable, but you must use the same amps. All four of the same.

That's what I've been advised as well.

I think you can mix amps as long the amp input sensitives are the same.

I have two sets of amps but can't bi-amp since the ARC Ref250 has much lower sensitivity than the Krell.
