Good luck!

I was going to do that anyway, but I was just curious as to which brands/models in particular to be looking for, so when we head down to some place like Tweeter, we can pop in a CD from one of his favorites bands (Stone Temple Pilots, thank you very much
), and he can hear "Dead and Bloated" and "Plush" in a whole new way. Then he can bring it home for himself.

Unfortunately no. Though I've heard good things about them so I may look into them.

He has a small-to-medium sized room, and I know Sony is known for giving their receivers a lot of power, so I don't think 100X5 watts is something he necessarily needs. So we can scratch that off the list.
But right now, I'm pretty sure it will either be the Yamaha HTR-5550 or the Pioneer VSX-D811S that I'll point him towards. Again, it's his decision and I'm just here to help, but he doesn't know a whole lot on the topic, so I'm just pointing him the direction of the best so he can judge which of them are the best.
Who knows? He may end up going with that RCA he was looking at earlier on before he came to me for help.
