B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness?
I agree with @dishman442 about the room. My room is acoustically treated with panels on all four walls and the ceiling. Also, the floor has a large area rug over the wood flooring. With my 803 D3 toed-in (per the manufacturer) it was too bright... 
B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness?
Before you sell them at a loss, try facing them straight ahead (no toe-in). I did that with my 803 D3 and was very happy with the sound. It might work for you too.  
Tilting B&W 802D speakers slightly forward or backward
Why do you feel the need to tilt them? I own the 803D3.  They don't seem to be designed to be tilted.

We've got a ceiling fan that does that too. I'm guessing another remote. Because of your handle, Winoguy, are you sure you haven't been indulging a bit too much?...:)

What do you listen to?
Old curmudgeon here. 99% old music, (1950s-90s). 1% new. Then I realize I don't like it and listen to something old again.  
Best Compilation Discs?
The Cult Remastered 19 tracks One of the albums I would include if I could only have 10 albums
