Help choosing an power amplifier

Hello everybody

I starting my journey last fall, so far Ive been loving it, I need some suggestions on what power amplifier to get, to get the best out of the speakers that I have right now and maybe upgrade in the future, I was thinking on buying the emotiva 2 Channel amplifier but im not sure if that’s the best way to go any suggestions will be great.

my set up right now
Audio technica AT-LP120-USB
b&w 606 s2
emotiva integrated amplifier basx A300
Cambridge audio cxn v2
I’m using Qbouz with Roon thru a MacBook Pro I am streaming over Ethernet.
Thank you for all the help beforehand

@tuberist I do have a dedicated streamer is a Cambridge audio cxn v2. Right now I am using the MacBook Pro as a Roon core, thinking on “upgrading” in the fire to a intel nuc with Roon rock.

I have looked At all the suggestions but still not sure where to go from here hahah. I have also ask Crutchfield customer service what they would suggest and also audio advice, Crutchfield suggested to get Rotel RB-1552 MkII (power amp)
audio advice suggested the RA-1572 Integrated Amplifier. Has anybody had any experience with this brand? Is it any good? 
My budget right now could be up to $2000
I was leaning over to get the parasound hint 6 but Crutchfield customer service advices not to because is too much power for this speakers. Is this true? 
Out of all the suggestions and reading alittle bit more I think I need to get an integrated amplifier to replaced the emotiva and then later on get a power amplifier. (If I feel the need)

thanks Gain for all the help
