She'll get over the hurt feelings. He, however, would have to live with that crap for who knows how long. I say bite the bullet and take that junk back for a refund and get some real speakers (that is if your buddy cares at all about good sound). BTW, that Sony receiver is just piling junk on top of junk ( from personal experience). Just my 2 cents.

I live the life I love and I love the life I live.
