It sure seems like he could buy a nice system by saving money on all the amps and cables. maybe nice speakers. like the DSP 5200 or 5500. not sure if he can afford the 7200. With the meridian surround processor can he use a standard sub or does he need a meridian sub?
No speaker cables. If you get the latest versions they are all connected with cat 5 ethernet cables. The older ones have a digital 75ohm plus a comms communication lead which are super cheap. You need power cables for the speakers which are active with amps built in.

He can use a M sub or a 3rd party sub. He just needs to make sure the specs allow him to use it. With M equipment, especially the 800 series you can configure them how you like, e.g. all digital, digital plus analogue, all analogue etc etc. That is the beauty of the system.
