moving up from Bryston B-60


I take it that power alone isn't reason to move to higher quality int amp, or to separates. When I turn my Bryston to 1pm, I can't imagine listening at any louder volume.

That being said, the music coming out of my speakers at that volume is considerably "better" than at normal listening level (~10-11 o'clock).

Does better amplification produce better quality sound at lower volumes?

Also, I've read where people use their B-60 as a preamp ... does this make sense, or can I get same quality preamp at lower price (and be able to use that money toward amp)?

I agree with Jaybo. What speakers and cables are you using? The B60 is a pretty clean sounding amp at all levels. You'd have to spend a bunch a get much better. You can get different for sure, but the B60 is quite a decent amp all things considered as it doesn't really do anything wrong, has a very nice midrange and sweet top end while being balanced sounding.
