Tonal Balance of B&W 802 D3/D4 vs the D2 Generation
Congrats on your 802 D2s! I purchased 803 D3s a few months ago and couldn't be happier. I don't notice a lean presentation, nor do they sound harsh to me. But, that is in a dedicated, acoustically treated listening room. Years ago, after I did al... 
Too much power?

Advice on Integrated Receiver
The speakers are fine. I still own the MA Silver 8s in a second system. When they were in my main system I drove them with a Krell (150/300 W/ch) and a Vincent (also 150/300 w/ch).

Speaker Placement and Toe-In

Bi amp configuration...a mismatch?
I have always been under the  impression it is best to use identical amps when bi-amping.  
Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper?
Interesting thing about cables- you wouldn't think they could make a difference, but they do. A substantial difference in some instances. YMMV.
