I think you and he are in the realm of dealer recommendations, and multiple trials/demos to get the sound he is looking for. I assume that is where the speakers and amps came from?
But one suggestion I can add is he may not need speaker "cables", if he has mono blocks, as long "jumpers" may work, and one can save many thousands by not looping up an extra 2m of unnecessary cable behind the speaker. Don’t think the dealers encourage this though. ![]()
For example, Nordost Valhalla 2 make a 27" jumper for about $6000 US.
