Helping European Friend Avoid Bose Speakers

I am practicing some high end missionary work with a friend who lives outside of Geneva Switzerland but travels frequently to the UK on business.

Not sure of his budget yet, but he would like:

* dedicated 2 channel music system
* ability to monitor movies through system
* simple multi room set up for parties

I showed him the Magneplanar website which he seemed to really like but I dont know if they have any non US distribution?

Also his taste runs towards soul and contemporary "jazz" so perhaps a bit of bass might help?

Can anyone please recommend any dealers either in Switzerland or London where I might send him to learn more and have his first taste of high end audio?

1) Why not arrange to meet him on a UK trip and spend a half day auditioning all kinds of stuff on Totenham Court Road. There is at least one Hi-Fi store on every block.

2) Stick to audition of UK speakers as it will be best value if shopping in UK. Electronics will probably be driven by choice of speakers and functinality.

Aesthetic considersations (how it looks) are what drives 99% of audio decisions so don't be surprised if he chooses something really cool looking over what you might pick. (Bose or B&O might actually be the ticket)
