Options for Integrated amp?


I have heard that I should be able to use my integrated Rotel RA 972 as a preamp and maybe as a power amp. Now my question is if I would gain anything in sound quality by hooking up a power/pre amp to it and in that case what would I gain?

The following is what it says in the instructions:
"The RA-972 has a set of preamp outputs. The signal from the source selected with the Listening Selector is always available from these outputs. Typically these outputs are used to provide a signal to another integrated amplifier or a power amplifier, which is used to drive remote speakers."

As explained before I have B&W 601 S3, Arcam CD72.

Rar1,

What I feel I lack is a little bass. It's a very bright system I have (the Arcam CD72 is not that bright though) and I lack a tight bass. But I guess that has more to do with the speakers than anything else.

Thank a lot everyone for your answers although I still don't know if I would gain in anything by buying a power amp... And that's what I'm interested in knowing!
