Want to try separates, what to expect.

Ok, I have always had an integrated amp or A/V receiver (briefly) as my main source for amplification. I started with a Lafayette tube amp that was my Granddad's. I have had a few different SS units from the late 70"s and the late 80's. I now an using a very nice Modwright KWI 200. I have this strong urge to try some modestly priced separates. Is this a move that will bring obvious sonic improvement or just subtle improvement. Just thought I would ask for opinions before I jump off that cliff. I'll likely still try it, you know how it goes in this hobby. Thanks, Allen (Mizike)

Separates allow you to mix and match components to find a sound closer to your liking.  It may be that your integrated is already exactly what you want, but you won't know until you start plugging different components in and seeing for yourself.

It can be a lot of fun, or completely frustrating - but I feel you haven't experienced this hobby fully until you have separates.  :)
