Speakers That Will Party Hard
first of all, have him get a decent amp. the breaking up is probably due to the quality of the amp more than the speakers. if he thinks bose are great, it is most likely that his 200 watt amp came from best buy or someplace along those lines. peak... 
Best Concert Film
any Dead Kennedys films out there, whether bootleg or official release get my vote. 
Review: Denon DCD-1650ar CD Player
i also love this player. i did a modification to it, changing the op amps to bb627's. it has completely blown away everything i've put up against it, including the music hall cd25, nad 541i, rega planet 2000, and arcam cd73. i am in the process of...

Need advise choosing speaker wire
go to an electronics store or electric motor repair place and purchase 12 guage magnet wire. don't buy it here, as it is WAY overpriced. the stuff retails for about $4 per pound. strip the ends and put it in place. double it up for biwire. the ena...

Arcam CD-73

Denon Service... Yeah or Nay?
i had a cd player serviced by denon and they were outstanding. it was a 12 year old player, though, and cost more than i should have put out. since you are buying a good quality product, why are you worried about the service? 
Anti Cables opinions
you can get magnet wire at electrical suppliers, on the web at many places, and if you have a shop locally that repairs electric motors, they should have an abundance of it. 
Anti Cables opinions
i use magnet wire in my setup. i didn't buy the "anti-cable" brand, mainly because it is only 12 guage magnet wire with terminations. the wire sells for about $3 per pound, give or take. there's no way i was going to pay $10 per foot, that's insan...
