Amp suggestions(?) for Focal Aria 906

I have a pair of the 906's on matching stands and am running a Marantz HD-AMP1 (35 wpc @ 8 ohms).

I'm running either TIDAL streaming (HiFi) or Hi-Res files via Audirvana.

For there most part, it sounds really nice especially since I experimented with placement and have it just right.

My question is if the AMP1 has enough power to get these guys going? On the highs on some recordings, I can hear some ??? (I think they call it digital hash?)

BTW, suggested power (from Focal literature is "25-100 watts".

Listening Room = 15' x 12'
Musical Preferences: Rock, Folk, Blues, Classical

^^^ Horse $HIT!!!
You have a small room and with your taste in music unless you listen at ear bleeding levels 15wpc.is,as I said MINIMUM...Get an EL34 Class A Integrated amp(50wpc.) with a Triode Mode,25wpc.Class A Strapped Triode with those speakers= heaven!They are genuine 89db.sensitive and have almost zero phase swing...I have been driving Dynaudios with low watt tube amps for years now with sublime results...
