Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization?

I need advice on how best to improve the midrange and base on my Magnapans (1.6qrs)My idea is to relieve the panels of base duty ( only feed the signal above 100 to 150 hertz to the panels and let my Swarm subs take the low end signal). I assume my midrange will improve, and the solid base performance via the sub system will fill in well. I now run a Krell S550i integrated into the Maggies, and the Krell Pre output into the DaytonAudio SA1000 Subwoofer amp.

Any feedback is appreciated - will I lengthen the life of my panels? Am I wasting my time?

I have installed biamp hookups on my 1.7i's as the bass panel is run full range on them with direct wiring to the positive and negative terminals.

But none of the other things you mentioned. Feeding the midrange/tweeter combo, I have heard people call it a 2.5 way speaker, separately helps, but well above the range the OP describes.

Base is to bass what expresso is to espresso!
