Would you trust a local dealer to help you put

Sales people , any industry, are motivated by one thing: making money. They aren't there to make you happy, they are there to make money. It really is like buying a car; it takes effort and skill on your part to derive a benefit from their expertise. the choices will be limited to what they have on hand.

Even if I trusted the dealer, I'm not sure their sonic choices would necessarily be mine. Add to that, few dealers carrying everything- they will be constrained by the brands they represent. So, I wouldn't do it, although I'd certainly listen to what a dealer recommended as a system at a given price point and decide for myself.

If you can decide on speakers then you could post here for recomendations. Ask for recomended electronics with synergery to your prefered speakers. That would be a start

a dealer can tell you what you like. there is no substitute for experimentation.

After 40 years I now know that speakers only let you know what your amp sounds like. In a 10K system I'd spend at least half on amp.

If I had any sense I'd buy a Rega Brio-R intergated,Rega Apollo CD and a pr of Rega RS3 speaker with DNM Reson wire
for about 3k and be done with it.
Thats at least 85% of whats possible and thats from someone
who has spent at leasr 150K over the years.
