You seem set on bi-amping. Would you consider just a single amp or a mono-block setup?
From what you have written (small room, close listening spot) I get the impression that you are not looking for a huge amount of power, just the best sound/combination. Though, you would lose some of the 'sound' advantages of bi-amping you could always upgrade the x-over to improve the stock sound. May not be as good as active bi-amping, but with the right amp you may be suprised.

I usually don't suggest a paticular brand name, but since I'm in the process of upgrading my Rogue Audio Magnum M-120's to M-150's and also own a pair of 1.6's, I figure I'll drop their name in. (despite my post about name dropping)
The upgrade from 120's to 150's is a bit spendy (though I'm hoping it'll be worth every penny!), but my point is I chose a spendy upgrade instead of purchacing a different brand amp.

Audition!!! You'll be glad that you did!
