Micah, I'm actually quite a bit more blunt in person than I am here when the topic of audio equipment comes up with friends and colleagues. Now that's a scary thought.

I would do nothing, except add another 'm' to dilemma next time.

How'd you know that, Peter? It was just yesterday.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Everytime I try to look back into the very recent past, I suddenly get overcome with deja vu.

About a year ago, I was wanting the Bose Acoustimass 10 until I went to a Nebraska Furniture Mart store where I inquired about them to a salesman an he led me over to a setup. Put in some music that I really didn't like, something with a heavy metal sound, and cranked it up.
My ears were crying for him to turn it back down, but I didn't say anything. It was just too raspy sounding. Finally when they turned the system off, they asked me how it sounded. I said that it didn't sound any better than my small Sony speakers. Their replay was "I've never heard that one before".

She's happy, he's happy, leave them be and let them enjoy the moment of ignorant bliss. If he get's curious later, speak truthfully. This 'hobby' is supposed to be fun. They are having fun now... I would leave it alone as well. If he becomes more interested in audio, he will likely move up to a better system. Everyone has a first system and it is usually not that good. If he and his wife love the system long term, that is fine as well. The time to intervene would have been before purchases were made and only if you were consulted.
