Type "Monster cable vs. " into Google and the top (most popular) search in the auto-fill if "coat hanger."

It produces nearly 10,000 results.

Better yet, set up your own test. Tell him you can get him in to a product test group for a new speaker wire technology (that will retail for even more, say, $50,000 per pair), and if he participates, he gets a free set. And do a double blind test with his current wires and wire coat hanger. And he won't be able to tell the different himself. Or, better yet, a non-double blind test, where you tell him "this is your current wires," and "this is the new technology," and he will be able to tell the difference, and the "new technology" will be better.

If you live in southern California, I'll help you. Seriously. (And if he can tell the difference, I'll give him a wire coat hanger.)
