Can upgraded power cords help my setup?

I have some KEF LS50 Wireless speakers and decided to use them with a Bluesound Node 2 via a Lifatec optical cable. Can I see a significant and worthy improvement if I swap out my power cords for something like Pangea cords? Do I need the AC 9SE MKII on the speakers or will the AC 14SE MKII be good for each speaker and also the Node 2 (C7?)? Power cords seem to be the only place left for me to tweak the most out of my setup.

Thanks for any input.

The AC 14SE MKII !    Those are class D amps in the Kefs. .

The AC 9SE MKII's are for high current, high power, analog amps.  You'd be surprised how Class D will save you on your electrical bill. I tried the 9's on a regular powered amp and it did not sound as good as the 14's.

@tjassoc, 

Where did you obtain your engineering degree? Electrical?

I obtained my undergraduate chemical engineering degree from Manhattan - I worked in the pharmaceutical field developing drugs a few of which were successfully brought to market. This required learning about and becoming proficient in computers, electronics, electrical systems, all types of control systems, a LOT of mechanical systems.
You can say I've got a lot of processing experience.

Well said tjassoc, but way too much effort for a couple of blockheads who have obviously never tried quality power cables but only "think about it"...
