Digital wireless radio
Many of the recent AVRs and prepros have this facility built in and do not require any additional cost or device. I have been using a Marantz AV7005 which gets streaming radio from the Internet and, also, accesses music files on my PC.Kal 
Integra DHC-80.2 or Onkyo Pro PR-SC5508 ?

What to do in my situation...
The REL sub setup might work but I would consider attention to room acoustics and speaker/listener placement first. Bass from these speakers is pretty good. 
prob./ multi-room zone EQ?
Never heard of anything like that except for the Wisdom controller or the long-gone z-Systems (which has 99 memories). Much cheaper to get 3 separate EQs.BTW, what do you mean by EQ? There are many different approaches.

Uncommonly long RCA IC cables?
It really depends on the output capabilities of your preamp and the ambient EMI noise in your environment. I run 10meter interconnects without any problems.Kal
