So I've found a decent deal of Polk Audio Monitor 30 Series II and a SMSL Amp-03 T-Amp shipped to Hawaii for only 125, which I was about to just order, but my Uncle has been telling me to not get it as it is not worth it. I myself have read through the forums and also believe it is more worthwhile to invest into better speakers and building at HT system from scratch would be better. I originally was going to get those 2 and the BIC F12, but his argument is that the gap in bass response is to large and don't make a good match up. He believes getting a match between front and subwoofer is a better idea and has been recommending 100~200 HT systems on craiglist such as this:

So far his argument involves: Monitor 30 has not enough bass, need a subwoofer. But with subwoofer not good pairing with BIC F12 that I was planning to get. He recommends getting a HT system as it already has bass with it. Bass is more then enough in a small room with any subwoofer found in a HT set.
So any idea with help on convincing him? Also he is native korean so leaving it in simple terms would really help. I'm still a novice, and I want to try explain to him but I still can't word it well.
