What size is his listening space? Floor or stand mount? Subwoofer(s)? If he wants a minimalist system, then a nice pair of active speakers and a decent streamer will do the job. I do agree that he should at least pick a pair of speakers he likes, then build the rest of the system around the speakers. |
