My modest office system

Here is my modest setup in my home office (working remotely)

I listen mainly to digital format music, I like (hard) rock, blues, sometimes more electro/pop; mostly FLACs CD/SACD

I have a MacBook Pro 2016 which is silent most of the time, connected to a Cambridge DacMagic 100 with USB to allow 192Khz sampling rate.

The integrated amp is a Myryad z142 (upgraded yesterday from a Rotel RA-930-AX I loved)

The speakers are Monitor Audio Bronze BX2, I love them too and its a gift from my dad but they are very sharp, almost too bright in the treble to listen and amplifier match is not simple I've found. They're on temporary stack of books stands to raise them off the desk but I'm looking for something more appealing to sit them.
They are the only part I haven't changed in the last 24 months.

I have a Sansui FR-D3 automatic turntable for when I want to listen to some LPs (I dont have that much vinyl, pretty new stuff for me ;) )

I enjoy it every day for now, but tastes change in audio subjective world and the room is far from being great listening place as I have dry wall on both sides of the desk.

What do you think of this stack ? Any suggestions on possible improvements without breaking the bank ?

Thanks for your suggestion, I was looking for stands indeed, and those seems really efficient, but I'm not confident on the speaker positioning right now. Raising them to ear-level brings a lot of details and improve stereo image but also kicks the mid bass room mode I have at a sensibly lower level.

I may as well put them lower with some tilt on the foam pads like they were a few weeks ago.

Next improvment is some Mogami/Switchcraft RCA modulation cable instead of the Amazon brand primewire I use
I also have different speaker to test, current is 4mm2 SommerCable Orbit 240 MKII and I have some good 2.5 mm2 that could perform well also
