Buy new amp or new speakers for more power


I need to add more power to my setup. My currnet setup has an Audio Refinement Multi 5 and a pair of Spendor S8. For rock, it's decent but with classical, it needs quite a bit more power. Other than that, I really like the sound of my system - warm like tube but has dynamics and bass like ss.

I have two options:

1. Buy a 3 three way speakers so that I can bi-amp using my 5 channel amp. Or

2. Get rid of my 5 channel amp and buy a more powerful 2 channel amp with at least 200w per channel.

What would you recommend?

Nrchy: I am not sure why you think the Multi 5 is not up to the task. Anyway, my budget would be about 2 - 3k range for a used amp or I could purchase a three way speakers.
I think bi-amp would increase power and to give music more focus and clarity.
