Can any of these systems power my current speakers?

Hi, I do not know anything about hifi and would need your help. I currently own a Marantz PM-17SA amplifier, a Marantz CD player and a pair of Chario Constellation Lynx speakers.

I would like to replace my amp + CD by an integrated system that can play CDs as well as from an iPhone (to play music streamed from Spotify). I have my eyes set on the Arcam Solo Neo (or Solo Mini), the Myryad Mi, the Rotel RCX-1500, or the Marantz MCR603 for instance.

However, I am not sure which ones have enough power for my speakers, which are small in size, but have low impedance (4 ohm). And from what I read so far, low impedance means the speakers are "demanding", or so I understand.

Your advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Here are the speakers specs:Low Frequency Load
Vented NRS
Configuration
2 Way
Drivers
1 tweeter 38 mm soft dome
Drivers
1 woofer 130 mm paper compound
Sensitivity
87 dB SPL 1 m 2,83 V
Frequency @-3dB
67 - 20,000 Hz
Xover Frequency
1,500 Hz
Rated Impedance
4 ohm
Suggested Amplifier
50 - 100 Watt

Having a quick look on the www. regarding your choices, i would go for either the Myryad (100 watts @ 4ohm) or the Arcam Neo (75 watts @ 4ohm) only because there is no spec detail for the others at 4 ohms, not worth the risk imo.

My CD player is the Marantz CD5400, but I definitely have to get rid of it as it functions under 110V, and I now live in a country where voltage is 220V.
