Do not be.
RWA is neither thin or a wimp to mop the floor with.
Because it locked synergy with your friend's carefully selected components (which most likely were chosen to complement each other to begin with) doesn't mean a whole lot.
Remember synergy and comparability ?
There is your answer.
P.S
Your friend might be up by one (1) but every dog has its day.
I have seen it happened (many, many times)....... except the score wasn't in dealer's favor.
But away, some of the speakers which sound great with RWA:
Zu speakers
SD speakers. Example: Omega
Rethm Saadhana
Horns: Carder Sound
