Any feedback on the new B&W 802D's
Second hand Ive heard a friend is quite pleased and the diamond tweeter is the real deal. 
"Pseudo" balanced interfaces.
Your comment that because a component is pseudo balanced the designer is more concerned about technical performance than marketing features is absurd. Which designer are we talking about, the fine folks at Rotel ? Why would this concerned designer...
