Hello Nikkidanjo,
I would agree wholeheartedly with your suggestion of the pre/amp seperates. Doesn't Rotel have a current model pre/pro with DTS-ES? The speakers I would recommend are the Dynaudio 1.3MkII for the L&R fronts and the 1.1's for the rears and the Dynaudio Contour center. They are not outragously expensive if you shop around and the sound is magnificent. If you can sell him on the Rotel seperates, you will be doing him a big favor. Generally, seperates are always better than a receiver. Good luck.......John
