Can I bi amp my B & W 603 S3 speakers with an

Arcam AVR 250 AV receiver that is 7.1? I have 5 B & W speakers for Home Theater. If I purchase a used AVR 250 with 7 channels can 2 channels power each main front speaker? The B & W 603 S3 have 4 posts (2 red & 2 Blk)and jumpers between if you don't bi wire. The main object is to make playing CD's (2 channel mode) as good as possible. Thank you for the replies. I haven't bought the Arcam AVR 250 yet but I want a good 2 channel set up.

Thank you for the responses. The used Arcam AVR 250 is $1,100.00 at a local Arcam dealer and it would be a good upgrade compared to the $400 Yamaha AV receiver I am using. I may buy it and use only 5 channels or keep looking. Thanks. (Two channel is more important to me than the ability to watch movies).

Thank you everyone and Evergrey. In the stereo direct mode does the AVR 300 use only the 2 channels for the main speakers and not channel 6&7? Is the Kimber 1030 IC the interconnect between the CD player and the Arcam AVR 300? I am going to purchase an Rega Apollo CD player in the next month (they are sold out), do you see any problems with the Rega brand and the Arcam receiver? Thanks. I am going to look at the Arcam AVR 300 or AVR 350.
