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)?

My current speakers are Signet 280ex floorstanders. But I purchased Totem arros and they should arrive soon.

By "better", I mean mostly more detail, in this case. But we'll see what happens when I get the arros broken in.

SO to move up in sound quality from the B-60, is a considerable jump in price? At similar listening volumes do amps with more power sound better, say moving up to Bryston separates ...
