I don't think I would be able to spend so little to justify any marginal gains in sound
I also don't think it's an audiophile setup. Was simply looking for advice from people who believe themselves knowledgeable about equipment. This is very much a low rent setup... But I think the results are really amazing for the price. I'm very much a value proposition buyer. I have Vizio tvs, I always go mid end on my PC but spend a lot of time making sure each part is exactly right, I buy clothes off amazon etc.

I'm a value buyer in general too. I get it. I was mainly suggesting putting a power amp between your pre amp and bookcase speakers, 64W means you're starving those speakers. $80 gets you 2x 160W or a 2x 100W power amp. I think you'd definitely hear a difference through your Klipsch if you did that. The B10 are rated 50-200W.

If I were to splurge on sound, I'd go headphones all the way rather than speakers. I currently use an astro gaming mixamp set up for movies and gaming and replaced the astro headphones with Sennheiser HD 595. I'm kinda tempted to get a pair of AKG 701/702 with a Fiio LDAC mp3 player (can double as usb DAC) again. I never should have let go of my 701.
