Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers

I have an older pair of Audio Physics, they have woofers on each side and a mid and tweeter on the front. I have (2) identical tube amps running in triode mode at 35 watts each. I was thinking to bi-amp the woofers on one amp and mids, tweets on the other. Wonder if anyone here has experience with this? Any advice or input is appreciated..

The room is 14 x 20. This amp is already louder than I can handle. Once in a while I turn the volume up half way on my pre-amp. Sounds good, but don’t need it that loud. I just want a little more bass. I’ll try bi-amp ing this weekend. According to the manual bridging is straight forward and easy.

I feel like an idiot. I bi-amped my speakers this morning and it’s night and day difference, sound stage is more distinct and the speakers have disappeared.

@kellymack Did you end up using one amp to drive left and right bass drivers and the other amp to drive left and right mid/tweeter OR does each amp drive each speaker ( bass vs mid/tweeter split by channel)?   If you tried both, would be curious to know which you preferred. Thanks.

I did use one amp for left and right tweets and mids.

one amp for left and right woofers.

I didn’t bother bridging the amps, because I was real happy with the bi-amp configuration
