Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality?


My system is a Rotel and includes:
pream RC1070
Amp RB1050
CD RCD 1072
Tuner RT 02
Speakers Klipsch bookshelf 75s

The system is in a den approx. 10x18. I wondered if I increased my power amp to, say, Rotel 1080 would I improve my sound quality overall?

Crossovers are excellent upgrades in klipsch, especially the reference series I have heard with the upgrade, totally gets about 20% more everything or better. Cleaner bass that helps keep up with the already slightly hot mids and highs, bigger soundstage, and more effortless, almost like going up in efficiency again even though they are already very efficient. But as for Power in this case, Power means nothing without accoustics. Do crossovers and few bucks on room accoustics and you will be better off for now, but a better amp not necessarily more power will always benefit down the road too.

Piece for piece I say you need to hear an exact upgrade... Believe me Klipsch did spec. the reference pretty well, but used .14 cent Capacitors and inductors, I have heard these speakers done with outboard crossovers all of the same value nothing different accept they were way too big with quality caps and inductors to go back into the speakers cabinets, and they absolutly smoked the 3.00 dollar computer grade components that they use stock, not even close, transparency and absolute size of the soundstage opened up wide.. maybe this will not be the case for all, but for a couple hundred if you have a good speaker you really like than it is worth it far more than trying to buy a different speaker for a couple hundred more and hope for these results... In most cases I have found an 800.00 dollar speaker like we are talking about here having around 1000.00 total invested after crossovers will far outweigh almost anything without spending about 3000.00 on another pair to move up the line for real, and at that point forget bookshelf and just go onto floorstanders. But I heard these results on floorstanders, so if Jnorth is looking for more powerful or bigger bass whatever than yes move onto something completley different.
