Advice on AV Receiver versus Separates
Ok. Got it. So what are the benefits of biamping? IMHO, nothing but that opinion is not shared universally. 
Advice on AV Receiver versus Separates
I thought bi amping would just double the power to the main speakers and improve sonic quality even at low volumes. Is this not right?No, it does not but, even if it did, why would you not just buy a bigger amp?

Why bi- amp? All you need is an amp sufficient for your needs. 
Use stereo amp and speakers with surround receiver
Does the H-K have line level outputs for L/R? Does the Rogue amp have a HT Bypass feature or input? That is what you need.

The 7005 is excellent but a little dated. You might consider one of the more recent Denon/Marantz/Onkyo/Integra AVRs for more up-to-date features. 
Meridian DSP 7200 - How good is this compared to..
Yes, Meridian is different and, although not germane to this thread, some of us use Meridian electronics with more conventional amps and speakers and, consequently, do make use the processor's DACs. That said, I hope to get a pair of the DSP7200.2...

I doubt it. 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
Knowing even one exception contradicts your absolutist "anything." Besides, high audio is small potatoes as an industry.

"One has to be naive in the EXTREME to think anything in the USA involving sizable sums of money is not corrupt."No, I think you have to be cynical. 
Having trouble with sound deadening
Not easily but there are devices, passive or active, that will absorb bass energy. What is your goal? Acoustical isolation or sound quality?What have you done so far?

It has one of the higher spec "Stable Table" transports.

My Oppos have been much reliable than my PD-65 (which sounded great in its day). I am happy to hear that yours is still OK. 
URGENT limited offer, Paradigm 15 v1 faulty $275?
Crapshoot. It could require a replacement amp or it could merely be a loose ground connectio (as I had in mine). Get the price as low as possible to increase your odds of success.
