Mike.......I can appreciate the trust you have in your dealer. I trust several very good dealers myself. None the less, their ears aren't your ears, their room isn't your room, and their system is not your system. Recommendations from a trusted source are valuable, but not as valuable as direct personal experience.
As for whether a component change will deliver improvement over your present system, there is only one way to substantiate that. Try it, preferably in your sound system. With some components there are substantial differences as you move up the product line, while others may only present something different but not necessarily better. Every component has it's own sound that imparts an individual sonic signature on what you hear. Only you can make the determination as to whether what you are hearing is satisfying.
