MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT.
If you can, try to audition the new Parasound A52 plus, It's within your budget. It is 5 channels at 180 watts per channel and sounds great. I just purchased one about 2 months ago for my HT to power my KEFS R700, R600C & R300. I was using my ... 
Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters
Check out the reviews on Tellurium Q Black 11. I think a 2 meter pair falls within your budget.  
Cambridge Audio 740 cdp dying...suggested replacement?
Naim is another good choice. I think the model # is CD5s 
A proper stand
You could try Sound Anchor, Timbernation or Stands and Mounts.com. Sound Anchor and Timbernation will make one to fit your center channel.  
Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor
Hi Tim,Thanks for your feed back. I do have a 4K HDTV. It is a Sony XBR 55 850C. The Sony HAP1ZES has line outs and needs to be connected to a preamp or amp. I did not know if there was alternative hook up that i was not aware of. The ethernet con...

KLIPSCH Heritage speakers .
I have the Heresy 111's SE and IMO, think they are an excellent speaker. I use them for music and HT. For music i use my Primaluna Dialog Premium HP integrated tube amp and HT, an NAD 758 av receiver. I listen mostly to blues, jazz & rock. Wit... 
Using Klipsch Heresy 3 as rear channel?
To E & tls49,  Thanks for you responses. I think i am going to look into this. Maybe using a small stand would be the thing to do. Again thanks for you feedback.Brian 
To Bi-Wire or use Jumpers?
Thanks for all your suggestions. Buying another pair of Tellurium Q makes sense. My cable has banana's on each end, my next pair would have to have spades on the amp end. Is it ok to use spades and banana's connecting on the amp?

Thanks Bill will do that Brian 
Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3
Have you considered Primaluna. I auditioned the H3's with my Primaluna HP integrated and was sold on the combo. I did not hear that dull sound you mentioned. A very nice match IMO. 
I got my stereo back after almost 20 years!
Another consideration would be the Sony HAP1ZES. I own one and have paired with the PrimaLuna HP.  Very happy with the sound and the convenience of the Sony. Good luck
