Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements?
Most people could care less about specs and measurements. They just buy what they like based of whatever criteria they want and some companies just rely on that and marketing to sell stuff. Happens here all the time...surprise!. That's the way ...

Is there any reason I can't use them to bi-amp the B&W's effectively giving them 360wpc? You can but (1) you will need some way to make sure that the gain of the two amps is identical so that the crossover balance is correct and (2) you wil... 
Tuning my system towards a darker tone
Headphones.
