I have Rotel amp RB 1582/looking for compatable pre amp to power Paradigm studio 100

I have Rotel amp RB 1582/looking for compatable pre amp/Paradigm studio 100 speakers.

I know Rotel RC 1580 is.... Found a RC 1070 used wanted to know if that would be better than my Marantz

2325?

My system now:

Marantz 2325

Rotel RB 1582

Nad C545BEE CD player

ditgital to analog converter

Paradigm studio 100 floor standing speakers.

Note: Suggested that Marantz 2325 was holding me back. Turn up over half way speakers would pop(tweeters).

Would rather use Marantz as a tuner and add pre amp? Is that possible?

Not sure what is meant by a “pop” from the tweeters, or what is causing this. The cause needs to be identified prior to a fix. What is the age on the Marantz?

Speakers are wired 2 wires to four 4 wires to 4 connections on each speaker. Just want to more top end.
