Advice: spare channels for bi-wiring


Hi everyone,
I currently have a 2 channel and a 5 channel power amp for a total of 7 channels. I use the 2 channel for my front speakers for music.

For home theater I use the 5 channel amp to drive my center, and rears. I use the same 2 channel amp for the fronts. This leaves me with 2 spare channels (on the 5 channel amp). Since my center channel can be bi-wired, would it make a difference to use a spare channel to bi-wire by center speaker? My surround processor does have 2 center channel outputs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Arcam AVR-300 receiver that comes with the feature of using the unused 6th and 7th channels (if you're only running a 5 ch. set-up) to bi-amp the L & R fronts. I looked around for any other Rcvr that had this feature but couldn't find one. I emailed B&K to see if this was possible with their 507 but I was emailed back that it is not possible (and not reccomended). I don't think this really addresses your situation but it's such a cool feature I thought I'd share.
Happy Listening!
