Can I bi amp my B & W 603 S3 speakers with an

Arcam AVR 250 AV receiver that is 7.1? I have 5 B & W speakers for Home Theater. If I purchase a used AVR 250 with 7 channels can 2 channels power each main front speaker? The B & W 603 S3 have 4 posts (2 red & 2 Blk)and jumpers between if you don't bi wire. The main object is to make playing CD's (2 channel mode) as good as possible. Thank you for the replies. I haven't bought the Arcam AVR 250 yet but I want a good 2 channel set up.

I am bi-amping my Arcam AVR300 using channels 6&7 under "advanced settings" for my B&w 604s3's with a considerable difference in performance. Stereo Direct in 2 channel mode to my Arcam CD36 CDP with Kimber 1030 IC is a terrific way to get the most musicality out of my setup.
Good luck

Jwmichman, sorry for the delayed response. stereo direct does 2-channel mode on the AVR300 and its supposed to isolate the digital circuitry to provide a cleaner line to the CDP. THe Kimber 1030's are between the AVR300 and the CDP. I actually had a Rega Planet 2000 before i bought the CD36 and it sounded really nice, especially on Mapleshade ultimate triplepoints.
Let me know how the setup goes.
