Actually, no.  He is correct.

Regardless of whether it was a mistake or not, the company must honor the
advertised price.  They should give him the speakers he ordered at the advertised
price and go fix the mistake to stem any further loss.  The burden is on the advertiser
of the product to honor their advertised price.  And in the future, they should read
their ad copy a bit closer...
