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.

Monitor Audio speakers like to be bi-wired, so as a minimum do it if you can. Bi-amping will work as long as your NAD can send an unprocessed L/R signal to the rear channel. The difference in power output between the front and rear channels will not be an issue. Run the front channel to the woofer and the lower powered rear channel to the tweeter.
I think you're confusing amplifier gain with rated power output. The amps in the receiver have the same gain so the difference in their rated power output is not important. At any normal listening level the tonal balance of the speaker will not be effected.
