A 3db increase is just barely noticeable by human ears. Plus 10 DB is perceived as double. It takes twice the power for each 3db increase.

Like everyone has already said, PASSIVE bi-amping (that's what you are doing) is pointless. Remember the marketing folks want to sell you stuff, so they put in the 'buzzwords' of the day. Kinda like going to Walmart and seeing the huge adverts for watts (more is not always better).
