Currently own a Rotel RA-05 SE integrated powering B&W CM5 speakers. I'm told that matching the amp and the speakers is important for both the life of the equipment and for using the equipment to the best of its abilities.
First you'd want to get speakers that you like the sound from, than you match the rest of components(amp first). With your current integrated better speakers will sound better giving you extra time to match the rest of components integrated or separate.
The trend seems to be the other way around. Many people are going from separates to integrateds to simplify their system and eliminate the need for another interconnect. The best cable is no cable at all and that is what you get between the amp and preamp when you use an integrated amp.
