I may be in over my head, not sure yet....... This is my first post. I'll start off by saying that I just got back into vinyl after 30+ years, so I am here to tweak a little more fidelity out of what I am currently using as my set up.
My current setup is with a Denon AVR-1910 using the CD RCA inputs with the AVR set to use straight analog without the surround processor. My TT is an Audio Technica AT-LP 1240-USB-XP. My speakers are small Sony SS 315's, from around 1999.
I feel that I get a pretty sound coming out of my setup. however I'm feeling like a better setup is what I need, however I do not have the funding of the Republic of Liechtenstein to do this. I am currently eyeballing the Marantz PM7005 since I can also hook my iMac Pro up to the USB input to play from my digital library. I am also looking at Ascend Acoustics CBM 170 SE's to do the pushing on this.....URL below....

My Main questions come down to the Wattage and Ohms, and if this set up would do fairly well at giving me some better sound so that I can hear the vinyl, and even digital music better? My main listening is rock and roll with a severe focus on the Grunge Era, however I listen to a lot of everything.
Also of note my 50yr old ears are pretty shot after 27 yrs in the service.
Thanks in advance for any input you may provide, I Thought I knew a lot about this stuff, however after poking around the last few days, I am certainly out of my element.
