Looking for an amp: B&W 703's

My Home Theater Setup
Rotel RMB 1077 Amp (bi-amping the 703's, center and rears)
Anthem AVM-20 Pre/Pro (Classe SSP-300 to be delivered tomorrow)
B&W 703 Mains
B&W HTM7 Center
B&W DS7 Rears
REL Strata III Sub
Oppo BD-105 Bluray

I'm considering upgrading the amp for mains as I do alot of 2 channel listening. Thoughts on a good used amp for my 703's? Would it be a waste to use the Rotel RMB-1077 for the center and rears?

Here's a pic of my arrangement, I am about 11 feet away from the mains. Too me, the AVM-20 brightened things up, I used to have a Rotel RSP-1068. I am hoping the Classe SSP-300 that will be delivered tomorrow will introduce some warmth

Suggestions?

Nice setup, very neat and clean! I would think you'd want an amp with generous current delivery for those B&Ws. I really liked the Butler tube/MOSFET hybrid amp that I had for a couple of years. It was powering some Gallo Ref. 3.1s and sounded great. The Butler TDB-2250 would probably be a good amp for you...
