What is your friend's budget? If he is spending $450 or so on an amp, is he looking for speakers at/ about the same price? Does he want new stock or is he willing to live with used items? Does he want to hear the speakers before he buys them?
If his budget is in the $450 or so range, new, then your choices will be limited to manufacturers like Polk (TSi300) or to closeouts. One closeout to consider is the PSB Alpha T - a previous year's model that Upscale Audio has for $300.
