can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please?
Put down the snake oil and get the cheapest copper wire you can find. Just be sure the gauge is large enough for really long runs. You could use a coat hanger and not tell the difference, and that's a fact.  
Free air, tighter bass - snake oil or cheap tweaks?
Sounds like you just need to get new speakers you actually enjoy listening to.  
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
Whatever you're reading, put it down. There is no difference in sound with 'clean' power.  
Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others?
It doesn't happen. It's a placebo. The only reason you'd hear a difference is if one amp is underpowered and the other has more power to drive the speaker, assuming the speaker can handle it.  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
Well, the same set of quality speakers will basically sound the same regardless of amp, cables, power cords, etc. So it's not surprising.

Power cable Advice...
Anyone here that tells you it will make a difference is either lying, or willfully ignorant. Put your money towards something that actually makes a difference and matters, and shame on whoever told you otherwise.

Value for money is not good. Units all you care about is how it looks and/or the name. Most of it isn't bad by any means. But not at all worth the price in most cases.   
Speaker cable length.
No.

The $10,000 Question
Buckeye Amps. One of the best objectively tested amps in the industry. I have their Purifi version. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/buckeye-3-channel-purifi-amplifier-review-2nd.43834/ https://www.buckeyeamp.com/    
Power cable Advice...
Newsflash: it doesn't matter. I'm drowning in snake oil here. If someone wants to spend a ton of money simply because they want a pretty looking cable, great, that's their business. But let's not pretend it's going to make anything sound different...

A lot of their amps measure objectively worse than amps priced MUCH MUCH cheaper. Not that they're bad amps by any means, but you're paying for name and esthetics.  
Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price...
Placebo. Enjoy your speakers, though.
