It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it!
How you sit in relation to your rig is the balance knob.  
Overpowering my speakers
No such thing as too much power, too much volume is the problem.   
B & O Speakers S 45-2 crossover ...a fire hazard ?
I think if you have a concern a contact to B&O might be the proper path.  
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
Some preamps degrade the SQ over direct, some improve. Some direct drive systems MAY work if all the stars align. A preamp is designed to give your amp the signal it needs and in most cases they are a better electrical match than using a passiv... 
Opinions of Onkyo P-3000R phono preamp
Your Onkyo is a full featured pre-amp with a phono input. The GoldNote is just a phono preamp. The Onkyo is kinda at the bottom rung for a full preamp with a phono section. Not saying it can't sound good but the next level is going to cost a bit m... 
Luxman M-900U in bridged mono or McIntosh MC1.25kw with B&W 800 D3
Bridging an amplifier increases power into the one channel but it also increases distortion and reduces the ability to drive low impedance loads. I don't think it's ever the preferred solution. Pretty much this.

Thoughts on selling and upgrading
I run my Heresys with a PrimaLuna integrated but they still need a sub.   
Best place to get value on these pieces of equipment and how to find new homes (Roomful)
Ouch, most of the stuff you listed is fairly pedestrian. The SL-150MK2 might be a good sale item. Mostly 50, 100, 200 dollar stuff.   
Mcintosh 501 - Front -Left - Center B&W802D -Mcintosh 402- Rear B&W803D B&W Cables ?
I would not run silver cables with Mac and B&Ws. Solid copper would be my choice.   
Amps For My Surround Sound Speakers
What do you mean by too much power? You can play too loud but you can't have too much power....YMMV.  
Swapping Kt88 tubes on muzishare x7 for Kt150
Oops, we have 2 threads going. I posted in the other thread. I said no. Run KT88s, I like the Gold Lyons. Other than that you'll have to change your system. Subwoofers maybe?   
Decisive moments your your audio journey
Was into audio for decades then I bought a set of Grado headphones for a portable system I was putting together. Dang if every CD didn't sound great. I decided that having a system that only played a few CDs perfectly was not the way to go, I need... 
Swapping Kt88 tubes on muzishare x7 for Kt150
The owner’s manual says: KT88EH、6550EH、6550、6550A tubes. KT150s would NOT be plug and play as far as I can determine.  
Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
I guess the only member of the band I ever thought of was Mick Jones .. Not Greg Lake?
