I think you've done the big one, and adding a second power will be better but not as clear cut as the first biamp.

Bi amping made quite an improvement to my setup (And ive NEVER heard of biamping ever sounding worse). High end setups are nearly always monoblocks so it must all be a step up surely.
I had bi-amped for years using Rotel RB971 power amps, with a Rotel RC971 Pre amp. Around a year ago I upgraded the power amp to a Audiolab 8000Q which made a huge difference. I had pondered for a long time about bridging the power amps and converting them into monoblocs, I finally bit the bullet earlier this year. It was the best upgrade I made and it was free, only having to move the appropriate jumpers on the power amps. This may be worth you considering if you are determined to add another power amp to your set up.
so i added the secound power amp today and i think your right joel not the leaps of the first one .
will give it a proper try at the weekend as my kids had to sleep so i couldent really have a proper go of it tonight.
but so far i think i could hear inprovment.it does sound very good to me now i wish i could get an independent opinion from someone who is into it .

why? If it sounds good to you why would anyone elses opinion matter?! Thats all there is by being *into it*, anything more is having an interest in the gear and not (just) the sound from it, which is not necassarily a bad thing, just not the most important bit!

And you never will know if you have got max for money...hi fi is all about upgradeitis just read the forums and ye shall learn!
This is the job a good retailer should be doing for you - advise on gear and demoing it properly so your ears decide not a committee of wannabee journos on an internet forum..

Take time before deciding nod. Im 99% sure youll begin to hear subtle differences withtin the week and probably marked differences within the month.
My arcam sounded absolutely AWFUL when I first fired it up (And seriously lacking power)
Now its a real powerhouse capable of pounding the floor with bass.
