Turntable-Amplifier-Speaker configuration question.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am getting back into home audio for the first time in many, many years. I recently got back into vinyl and purchased a Technics SL-1500C with a pair of KEF LSXII speakers. It sounds great, but apparently the amount of volume I can get to the speakers is limited because of the Phono to AUX routing I need to use into the speakers. I tried using a Denon amplifier to see if I could get a louder signal, but that didn't help. I am wondering if someone could suggest a setup for my turntable that would get me the fullest possible range of volume. I am open to starting with replacing the speakers and purchasing a new amplifier/reciever.

For us to understand the electrical requirements of your system, we need more information like brand+models:

  1. What cartridge are you using?  Cartridges differ in their electrical output 
  2. What phono stage (preamp) are you using?  Phono stages can differ in their electrical output amount of amplification from the cartridge output to line level for a preamp.
  3. Are you using a preamplifier before your amplifier? If so, what’s the brand and model?
  4. What is your amplifier?
