Recommendations for an Audio System on a budget??

NAD with multi channel amps. and some small Gallo speakers, not the cheapest way to go, but very good price for performance. The Gallo speakers are nice because of looks and size, also colors, for outside just get some all weather JBL speakers or something cheap but acceptable sound.
NAD is known for great price for substantial performance, the gallo's are known for good sound and they look like works of art so I wanted to have you look into them, have fun and best regards Chad

Panasonic DVD-V/A changers as source (e.g. FX 87). Surprising sonics for the money ($100) NAD/Rotel/Marantz multichannel/multiroom receiver. This is where the money would have to be spennt. If she could find a bulk of used NHT super-one and outdoor one.. like on ebay or even here on Audiogon.. these are speakers that are an amazing value. They are all easily mountable (threads for a bracket in the back) and have a decent bass by themselves.. but require decent quality amplification.

NAD carousel player, multichannel amps with something like Paradigm Atoms for cheap. These can be run in series/parallel to a point.
