Can I Bi-amp speakers with single surround amp?


I just purchased Swan Diva 6.1's which I am able to Bi-amp. I am considering a Rotel 1075 or similar amp and wonder if it is possible/prudent to use a 5 channel amp to feed the stereo pair.
No sub or center in the system, so I wonder if the 0 load on the 5th channel is a problem.
Thoughts?
Thanks

It won't matter at all, I have Bi-amped my mains with a 5 channel, using only 4 channels, I have used the Rotel amps before, i know it's extremely subjective, but Bel Canto has a great 4 channel you can find used that in my opinion sounds significantly better, another option would be a Krell HTS, used it would be about the same,
