I've always been a fan of biamping personally, but it is always the best idea to listen to the combination before buying. If you can get a bryston or a Stratos on loan for a night or two, I would try that. You already know the characteristics of the A200, and I would guess that biamping would produce the same characteristics, but the sound may be more dynamic, more conrolled bass, that sort of thing. The best advice I can give is just buy what sounds right to your ears.
Upgrade single amp or bi-amp
I have been thinking of upgrading my Acurus A200 which is currently used to drive my Magnepan 1.6. I know there are many high quality amps out there for my Maggies such as Stratos, Belles, Bryston, etc. Given that I do have a budget limitation in mind and just about any of these better amp will cost twice or three time my A200, would it be better if I just buy another A200 to bi-amp instead of upgrading to a better single amp that cost twice as much?
