If you are considering replacing a piece, always try to get a long term audition of it in your own system and room so you can properly evaluate the change it is going to make. After a week or two your relationship with the changed sound will have bedded down.
Listening to a different system or component the first time for a short period very often gives a false positive impression simply because the sound is different from your present system. Many dealers have sold many pieces taking advantage of this effect. Ask for a long term audition. More often than not, different is not better.
