I agree. Even expert opinions that have vetted the two components on a double blind test, cannot supplement your listening in your own home.
With as many variables as exist...nothing replaces the home demo with EXTENDED listening periods (some things can sound "better" during short term sessions, but are fatiguing over time).
Trust your dealer enough to test it at home. The buck stops at YOUR ears.
