At that price point he might be best served by going to a Tweeter-type retailer (don't know where you are, but Tweeter is a mid-fi chain in the northeast) and getting a package deal. They've got Klipsch, Mirage, and Boston Acoustics speakers and and Denon, Pioneer, Sony, and Yamaha surround sound processors that will likely give him a lot of bang for his home theatre buck. (Don't forget cables in the budget.)
On the other hand, if he's bold and daring, the Outlaw 1050 surround processor is very well-thought of, and can be had for less than the box retailer priced units (and with ostensibly better sound). You buy direct from Outlaw online.

the previous followup made good points, esp cables... i might add cambridge soundworks to that list... they have retail stores and an online store, hifi.com... they carry cambridge speakers only, but they are decent (designs by the late henry kloss)... along with several other consumer-to-mid-grade electronics, they carry marantz, a very good mid-fi product.
