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)?

Low level listening is what I do .
I have found that it is like anything else , synergy -synergy and synergy .
As stated above , you need well resolving easy to drive speakers and then look for an amp that will mate well with them .
I am not familiar with your gear but , the "it sounds better when I turn it up" thing is probably the easiest symptom to recognise and correct .

Good luck.
