Change INTEGRATED or Add AMPS?


I have a nice Rotel RA-1062 integrated[60w/ch], but would like MORE power...would YOU sell the Rotel and get a more powerful integrated OR just use the Rotel as the preamp [i like its phono] and just add some nice powerful dual mono amps like the Bryston 7B-ST's?

Replaced epos 14 with talon raven-c....same opinion? Why doesn't the rotel match with the bryston?...just using the bryston's for more power!
I used to have a Rotel RSP-980 prepro in my system a while back and it was good but could not match the tonality, weight, and soundstage dimensionality of a good stereo preamp. In fact I'm now using a Bryston BP-6. If you're upgrading your amp you should demo a couple good stereo preamps as well just to see what you may or may not be missing. Preamps are one of the most critical components in a system so it's worth some effort to get it right imho. Best of luck.
Give it a try. If it does not work out you can always sell the Rotel and get a preamp.
With keeping the rotel i can use its power to run other speakers and use its pre-outs for the other amps & speakers...then i have multiple speaker choices without a lot of wire switching!
