Powering RTi12's

Hello all -
In about 2 months or so I will be picking up a pair of RTi12's and want to start now on researching for amps.
I will be running a Yamaha RX-V663 (7.2 , 95wpc with pre-outs) with these speakers. My questions I have for you guys are:
1) What is the appropriate WPC to power the RTi12's.
2) What amp recommendations would you make to power the RTi12's. (just a 2 channel, or 2 monoblocks.) I would want to buy a used amp to save money. (I am on a budget here, no more than $350 tops)
3) Would bi-amping the speakers help out a lot or should I just use the amp only.
Thats all I can think of for now. Thank you for your help!!

anything over 125wpc will do those RTi12's nicely... if you can approach 175 or 200+ they will love you even more. be sure whatever amp is a high current design.. that's more important than the WPC.PolkFest 2012, who's going>?
