foghorn- i definitely dont think there was any devious intentions on her part.. i think she was truly trying to do something nice, and just had no idea about sound quality, HTIB's, etc. i think she was more motivated by price than anything else. she saw what looked like a BIG system at a small price, and just jumped on it.
this is still a situation is process, so i am just waiting to see how it turns out.. all i can do is attempt to guide him in the right direction, and hope he follows my directions. if not, then the best i can do is at least get him to buy a good receiver, and then in a few years when the sony micros blow out, he will at least have a good receiver to build on.
