My setup is similar, and I am very happy with it!

availibility of the monitor 70's seems to be scarce, and the 60s to some extent as well, i just worry that if i wait for a good deal on the 70's i wont get it and then miss a deal on the 50's

You can get the CS2 for $100 + s/h from Crutchfield.

I bi-amped my two Monitor 70s today using the rear surround/bi-amp channels on the RX-V663, and it sounds amazingly better. As somebody told me, you don't need really nice surrounds unless you listen to a LOT of music. The 30s work great for me.

I do listen to alot of music actually, this whole setup is routed through my computer which i have a boat load of music on

I've bi-amped my 60's. While I felt that I perceived a difference in bass and such, I didn't see a huge change, and was questioning if I was only hearing the placebo effect.

[BLindsay]

so is it just me or is it damn near imposible to find the 70's currently? the only place i find them is J&R music for $400 + 90 shipping

Here are some 70's. Here are some 60's. Here are some 50's. Here are some 30's.

All you have to do is bi-amp one and not the other, and then compare. For the 70s there's a huge difference, but that might be more due to the fact that it has that extra woofer. The bass was WAY better, and there was also a considerable amount more clarity. What receiver are you using?

[aramis109]

Onkyo 605.

Problem with doing that is that it's not a true comparison between the two- you're comparing one that's getting the full range vs. the other that's only getting the highs. (Highs being sent via one wire and lows via the bi-amp'd connection.) Once you select "bi-amp" in the receiver, it splits the signal for both, regardless of how you hook it up. The only exception to this is if there's some special/different setting on your Yammy that my Onkyo doesn't have.
