Well, you should know better than to ask a bunch of (mostly) men whether you should listen to your boyfriend. :-)
It sounds to me like your boyfriend wants to play audiophile while spending your money. That's probably not worth divorcing him over, although he may become more of a nag if you resist. In that case, all bets are off.
As for the amps, The Bryston's a great piece, and I don't see a word in your post suggesting that you are at all dissatisfied with it. Nor do you sound like the kind of person who enjoys changing your system around just for experiment's sake (or the fun of it). So don't.
(If you really want to drive him crazy, tell him you've decided to become an objectivist, and you now believe all amps sounds the same.)
