Next Upgrade?

I like my system, but sometimes feel it sounds a little muddled. Jazz and standard rock are pretty good, but harder rock/metal can overwhelm. I just know I could improve, and thus the obsession begins. Peachtree Nova 150
Kef LS50s
Rel T7i sub
Ortofon 2M Blue
Technics 1200 M3D circa 2004
using the built in stage on the Peachtree
stock power cables
Audioquest Golden Gate inters and Rocket 11 speaker cables. 
I feel like TT and or cartridge would be next move. Room is like 14x18. I’ve tweaked about everything ie speaker placement, footers and isolation.  Treatments out due to room and wife. I have a Thorens MM008 stage but I didn’t think it was any better than the built in. What’s the weakest link?

ls50’s showing strain at higher volumes or the peachtree is not up to it (more likely the former)

if it were me i would find larger, more efficient speakers that play loud with more ease
More to discover
