Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?

What components might I check into that have a small foot print?
For SS, you could try to find some McCormack Micro Line and Power Drives. SMc Audio just upgraded my amps to monoblocks and upgraded the preampA Rega Apollo should fit in the space you described.Bob

Two Subs v One for a Big Room for 2-Channel Audio?
Even in a smaller room, I would opt for at least 2 subs.It is always best to keep the same model subs, so as to avoid any unforeseen difficulties, but I would not consider it a deal breaker.When in doubt, call the manufacturer.Bob 
Floor-Standards to Monitors?
Don't forget Vandersteen VLR's.B 
High order crossovers

Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive
I would use the stock cord first before considering an upgrade.Bob 
Can Streamed Music Sound Better than any other source?
I can understand your situation. I returned to hifi after a 30 year hiatus.Streaming seemed like something I would never do, however, once I did it, I haven't opened a CD or LP in years.My recommendation-Get an Ayre Codex or Schiit Gungnir or Yggy...
