Hey everyone. I'm after some audiophiles opinions. I've had my current setup for a while but I've heard that adding a power amp or pre amp will improve my setup. I really have no idea when it comes to these things and was wondering if there's some knowledgeable ozbargainers out there.
Here's my current setup:

Sorry for the poor formatting, any help is appreciated

Your speakers are not high impedence and your integrated amp is actually producing sufficient power to drive your speakers. Ie. Your output from amp and your input impedence on speaker is suitable, so is the wattage.
You will not see much difference by upgrading either components in isolation or adding to the setup above.
