Your brother is lucky to have you, what a great gift!!!

Buy him Rotel receiver, or even better - Rotel separates!!! He will thank you for life!!! They are available on select dealers and not online (exept for ebay and audiogon.com of course). For some info and specs you can visit Rotel Website

And of course, Axiom speakers, I have M60s for a dedicated music stereo system, and am quite happy with them.
