what speaker cables would you recommend for KEF speakers matched with Sansui amp & preamp?
I often use Mapleshade speaker cables with vintage amps that have spring clip connectors

I like the Kimber 12TC and Hero recommendation.  Some like vintage Sansui or other vintage gear, many don't. Just personal preference.

I liked the original Audience power chord on both the LS15 and 25mkll. It's quite inexpensive now and a nice upgrade from the already good ARC cord  
Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
there is a very recent, very long thread on this...absolutely no consensus...though your system seems to fit into the non-existent normal range 
Parasound A-23 or Parasound HCA 2200
Parasound states the A23 is circuity designed by John Curl, they used to describe his amps as Amplifier designed by John Curl 
Parasound A-23 or Parasound HCA 2200
it's actually the 2200II and the 1000A     The 2200 and 1000 were not John Curl, he redid the already existing models... 
Parasound A-23 or Parasound HCA 2200
the original 2200 wasn't a John Curl, you need the 2200A for that...same with the HCA1000, the 1000A still is a great little amp. In the older ones they used the parts he specified, now they just use his circuit design, but cheaper parts...

Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
Have you measured the horsepower since installing the fuses ? 
Looking for a Cheap DAC?
I used Parasound Zdac and Peachtree DAC-itX both quite an improvement. I've seen both here for $175. I think anymore is wasted on the Sonos.

the second version was a nice, low cost upgrade...I had mine upgraded by ARC then moved to the LS25mkll which I liked a lot better...
