Bi-amping at this level never really works out good. To do it right, you either need to do a y-splitter cable with an amplifier that has a very high input impedance, or you need to get an external active crossover. The bi-amp features in receivers can severely affect sound quality. It would be much better to just use a very high quality high current amp. If you wanted separates, I would look for a really good 3 channel amp.
What Emotiva processor are you looking at? XMC-1? or the lower model? I would probably avoid their amps when combined with the Monitor Audio, which can be on the bright side. Look for an amp that is slightly on the warm side of neutral. Maybe Parasound?
If you did the receiver route, I would maybe recommend the biggest Marantz receiver you can buy. You can even go previous generation, such as SR7012 or SR7011 models. Sound quality is the same as the newest SR7012 model. The only difference would be features and bells and whistles.
What's your overall budget?
