Is this rude?
I'd give some sort of compensation to the dealer (a 6 pack of good beer or something like that) for allowing me to demo speakers I know I won't be buying from them. That way, everybody wins.

Point to point wiring.
interesting to see some contrasting views on this subject. Being relatively new to the hobby myself, I'd always heard point to point wiring spoken of as if it was some really great thing. 
What DVD should I use?
I always used the first Lord of the Rings movie for demos , when I had an HT set-up. The fireworks scene in the beginning is pretty incredible.After having seen the third installment, "Return of the King" last night, I think I would pick that one....
