$400 on the player itself, and maybe $600 or so for the speakers and Sub.

Over rated, you can do much better for cheaper.
Exhibit A: the wave radio.
Cost:$500
Result: a big hunk of plastic that sounds like arse.
Conclusion, your paying for a brand name and are a sucker for marketing campains.
2000 SVT Black/Tan #1633/2150 (a few mods)
Alpine: CDA-9835, MRV-F540, MRD-M550
PG: TANTRUM-X 6.5 COMP all around.

As you know, the Wave Radio is not considered as a home theatre setup. Not even close. He is looking for Home Theatre components/pieces. I suggested Bose because the quality is superb. Whether he is willing to pay the price for it is up to him.

Onkyo Cinema Series. I have their receiver, 5 disc DVD, and their 7 piece surround package. I live in an apartment and it still sounds AWESOME. My neighbors hate me when they hear/feel cars whipping around next door at 2 in the morning!

I know he's after home theater, I was just giving a prime example of Bose being over hyped and over priced.
