Allnic h-3000 power supply issue
Those power cords that I mentioned worked very well with my Allnic L-3000, H-1201 and T-1500 in addition to other manufactures, which is why I believe they will workout very well with your Allnic products. My Allnic products were also purchased fr... 
Allnic h-3000 power supply issue
As far as power cords are conserved, I’d recommend the Hijiri Nagomi made by Combak Corporation in Japan. https://gestalt.audio   OR one of the models made by Zavfino https://zavfinousa.com    
Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?
My P3ESRXD sounds pretty good without a subwoofer however much better with a sub or two. I use my REL T/7i subs with all of my speakers.

I was also going to recommend the Harbeth P3ESR and/or the P3ESRXD.  
Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3

speaker upgrade
I was going to suggest one of the Harbeth models that would fall within your used price range. I do own a pair of the P3ESRXD's (among others) and have been very impressed with them. I should mention that I run them with a pair of REL T/7i subs.  
Black Blackground for Monoblocks
The Equi=Tech 2Q or a CPT Deep Core 1800 might work, you would have to experiment plugging directly into the wall AC 20 amp outlet vs the your Stromtank 1000. I have some friends that report great results with the Niagara 5000. Regardless of the c...

@larsman why not give Ray a call?  
Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up...
Nothing wrong with having an eye for art, regardless of whatever the forum is ;-) I'm right there with you...  
Zavfino
Although the Zavfino products sound good upon arrival I'm thinking 150 hours of play time with no movement is pretty much what is needed. Systems will vary like anything else.  
Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?
