Not knowing anything specific about McIntosh, I did know a dentist who had them, but he didn't seem like an audiophile, so I never brought up the subject.
You specific question answered (in general): Yes, othe amplifier is way more capable than the integrated. The integrated is probably well suited to the loudspeakers and your room, so you can spare yourself dealing with a 75 pound chassis for no real apparent benefit.
You probably want to audition the McIntosh and the Parasound line. For the price of the McIntosh, you can probably get Parasound separates. It's your choice. Nobody knows which you would like better. Someone mentioned Anthem, so you might have another possible audition you can arrange.
