Bi amping a pair of B&K ST-140's

Hello all. I am building a second system and am looking for a pair of B&K m-200 monoblocks. I cant find a pair so I am thinking of bi amping a pair of st-140 amps. My pre does have two sets of main outs. Any other ideas? I thought of the adcom 565's, but I have always liked the b&k amps and their sound. Other thoughts were a b&k ex 442, parasound, rotel, etc. trying to keep cost under $1000. They will be driving a pair of b&w cdm7's.
Thanks all!

IMO, a biamped pair of ST140's isn't close to a pair of M200's (I have both). If you don't have the patience to wait for a pair of M200's, I might look for a Parasound HCA2200 (I've also had one of those).

I have the older ones, plus I have one of the newer ones that I use for a center SPL. The old ones are one of the best values around.

The difference is mostly packaging afaik. I also had mine nodded at musical concepts.

850 is high. I've seen them as low as ~450 in rough cosmetic shape to ~700 in good shape.

I'm not familiar with the ex442.
