I never said NAD wasn't good. My two channel setup is mostly NAD.

Nor did I dis the speakers per se. I merely hinted that cute comes with a price.

If sound is the goal, without the matching center channel and a sub, whatever money spent on a receiver is not going to be wisely spent.

I was merely trying (subtly) to point out that, IMNSHO, that $1500 would be better spent if they were applied to a subwoofer and a matching center channel speaker as well as to only the receiver and DVD player.

But, to each their own. If four speakers is all he wants, then the NAD system is a good way spend that $1500.
