Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home
@hilde45 the place your refering to is mostly used gear. I wouldn't think there would be a problem.  Even the music room will give you 14 days. Sure you need to plunk down the money first but they don't get upset when you  return something.  I liv... 
Oppo 105 favoring one channel
I have 2 105's. When I use the remote it always changes the balance on my Audio  Research ls28se pre.

Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos?
It can be done both ways with great results.  I go back and forth between 2 and 4 amps depending on which pair of speakers I'm using. To me and those who hear my system it is fantastic. Nothing messy at all using 4 amps. Even on Tannoy Legacy Arde... 
Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes
I have 2 SVS sb3000. There is no jumping around.  Look at my system.  I agree with @ghdprentice , something is wrong.   
What cables to use.
I'm using an 15meter 8k Fiber Optic HDMI 2.1 cable from my Oppo BDP105 to my TV.  Works great.  
CD player suggestions...
Find an Oppo 105. It does it all.

Need 25 foot interconnects
+1 @ghdprentice . In my den I have a pair of Kef R11 being driven by PS Audio M700 monoblocks.  I took a pair of Audio Quest Rocket 44 cables cut them in half and am biwireing. The bass has improved so much I have turned off the sub. Big improveme... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
I also use redwood salvaged from my Pergola deck. My son sanded and stained then sealed.  They look awesome.   
Warming up digital in my setup
Definitely the phone setup.  Get a used Lumin u1 mini, Kimber Kable D60 spdif, used RME ADI2 dac fs. You will be happy. Quboz subscription. I use this setup in my den with PS Audio BHK signature pre and m700 monoblocks into Kef R11.  No glass.  
Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones?
I think @jasonbourne52  is on to something.
