Best Audio Electronics for Paradigm S8v3 Speakers

I am redoing my 2 channel system and am seriously considering the Paradigm S8v3 speakers, but am having a problem with what electronics to consider using. My first consideration is the Anthem Statement P2 amp. I am interested in hearing what other S8 owners are using for an amp and pre-amp.

Also has anyone Bi-amped their S8s and if so what kind of results did you realize?
