New Pre Amp suggestions

I currently have the Marantz AV7005 powered by a Mac MC205 running SF Liuto towers with matching Smart center and no surrounds or sub. I was told by a rep, I should upgrade my AV as its outdated and hindering my sound. Is he trying to make a sale or does he have some merit to what he is saying. The rep suggested the Integra 60.5. If you agree with him, please let me know what you suggest, keeping it under $2k. I mainly watch movies and some music.
