The 7100 will not support bridging (assuming that it follows the same design approach as the 750, 770, and 755 did; the full feature list isn't out yet), but you can still use two of its channels to bi-wire a speaker (thus taking a 7x100W amp and creating a 2x200W and a 3x100W, which I think is what Benjamin is considering). From what I've been able to find (and as charlie said in his last post), you would get more power to the bi-amped speakers than you would if you bi-wired or "mono-wired," but bi-amping may be in some ways more hassle than simply going with a bigger amp (like the 755). In addition to charlie's last post, there's some more info at SMR and at soundstage.com that might be of use.
