cm10 S2 and Rotel RX-1050 when bi-wired on A and B speakers Rotel overheats easily


got B&W cm10 to replace 686 and started by bi-wiring them using A and B speakers. But the receiver overheats and turns itself off. It is 100W per channel which I thought would be enough. I went to regular wiring, receiver gets warm but does not overheat.
Thoughts? 
thanks in advance.

Probably because speaker b is a parallel amp channel to speaker a. In order to actually BiAmp you would need to add an external 2ch amp.

Also a lack of ventilation and air flow will create a large amount of heat
