Yup, audio is easier if you're not in an uphill battle with the wife
Speaker cables are part of the whole and going by what I think you have I strongly recommend some decent cables. I do not have experience with a lot of different cables in my system but have over the years heard quite a few. I tried QED then Chord Carnival Silver Screen then Ecosse (can't remember the model but were easy to forget) and some others but then came Duelund which I think great value and there are many rave reviews. This unassuming skinny cable genuinely has something to offer and outclasses the cables mentioned. Price? Well very reasonable considering the performance. You will read reviews where guys replaced cables costing many multiples of the Duelund. The sensitive Tannoys will be fine with 16AWG

Can be found a little cheaper if you shop around. Fortunately these cables sound best when used unterminated. Just insert the stripped end and tighten. Any connector will degrade the sound so quite a saving there.
Regarding the resistors: if you replace yours with Mills get the exact same resistance but buy the 12W ones even if the ones being replaced are lower wattage.
What value is the capacitor in series with the tweeter and what make did you buy?
