Can anyone help me out?

My buddy jeff seems to think that some bose all in one (dvd, receiver) speaker set up for $1700 is the way to go. I'm not sure of the model #, but i'm sure for the $ their alot of better ways to go. I told him to go with an Outlaw receiver and an Athena point five system. He already has a Sony 700 somthing dvd. My thought is that he would save a little cash and have a way better setup. What do you guys think?

Thanks

Tommy

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR. DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO CONVINCE HIM THAT YOURE RIGHT.
A couple of things to ask first:
Why does your buddy want the Bose? Spacial considerations?
Bad taste or Bad advice?

Why dont you invite him over to listen to your system with some music HE really likes? I think it would be easier to convince him that way.

I think you are 100% right, take him to listen to a couple of small systems if you can. Go listen to the bose system, have them turn that toy sub off so he can hear how bad those bose cubes sound without it. If they can't turn it off and still play the system then just stick a sock (bring one with you) in the port to block output, Play some music with the port sock in also. Have them play the other systems you listen to also with and without sub, he should catch on to which sounds better real quick.
