Bi-amping Rainbow Germs. How much power should I send them?

I have my Germs wired passive at the moment, with around ~80 watts of power. If I Bi-amp them, How much should I send to the Mids and the tweeters? And will they sound better with more power?

Running passive I sent mine about 150wrms and when I ran them active I was giving the mids about the same and the tweeters about 75wrms. The Germs can handle a lot of power.

Do these Germs sound best when receiving alot of power?

more power will mean louder, which in turn means that you can play lower with more authority. You effectively increase the frequency range by adding power, and you can EQ out any peaks you don't like
