Biamping from a 5 channel amp?

So, I have a NAD T750. I am about to get some Monitor Audio speakers (I really hope so at least, but older ones if I can do anything about it). The speakers are biwirable/biampable. Would it be a good idea to hook up the front channel to the woofers and the rear channel to the tweets? This receiver runs 3x50W to the front, and 2x30W to the rear. For the record, these will be some kind of MA bookshelf speakers as I can't afford towers.
Or, if that's a bad idea, I have a newb question. Would it be worth it to biwire these speakers with this amp? I'm not too worried about the extra cost of wire since at my level, there is 0% difference between copper/ofc wiring and silver high end crap. And on that note, do you guys know the profitability of wire? It's ridiculous. And they have you all fooled ;)
On that note though, any recommendations on basic speaker wire? I'll put on my own ends if I have to as I'd like the length to be at least 10ft if not 15 or more.

Okay, well, it looks like I just got some Silver 3i's, so as soon as I get them, I'll biwire them with mediocre wire and check it out. I'll stay away from biamping them with what I have due to the potential complicatedness of the situation. Anyway, when I run the receiver in 2 channel mode, I get 60W instead of 50W. I've heard these speakers on less power and thought it sounded the same as on an amp with more power (only it was quieter, so I had to turn the knob up).

Any suggestions on specifically what kind of wire to buy?
