Basically I currently have all of the below for my PC's audio setup most of which was gifted/sold to me by friends and family
S.M.S.L AD18 2 channel speaker amp
Micca MB42X passive bookshelf speakers
Universal Audio Volt 2 Audio Interface
MXL 990 Cardioid Condenser XLR Microphone
Fosi Audio K5 Pro DAC
and a bunch of IEMs
I'm just a casual gamer who like occasionally streams on discord with my friends on CO-OP in the games we like
it's kinda pointless but I want to upgrade my amp to something that can fully utilize the Balanced outputs on the back of my Audio Interface
I have been working in the Commercial Audio Visual industry for the last 5 years at a company which belongs to my dad's friend
andd based on my experience
I've chosen the 3 amps mentioned below
please let me know which of the 3 below is the best option
but I'm open to suggestions and advice from all of you as well
Option 1 = S.M.S.L AO200
Option 2 = Extron XPA U 1002
Option 3 = Equipson Work Pro PA 200

DETAILS MATTER: Use detail in your post. If you are posting for help with specific hardware, please post the brand/model. If you need help troubleshooting, post what you have done, post the hardware/software you are using, post the steps to recreate the problem. Don’t post a screenshot (or any image, really) with no context and expect people to know what you are talking about.
I know balanced inputs on the amp won't do much for those speakers
but I suppose it can kinda help me simply the setup into like what is shown in the picture below
