The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.


This should be thought provoking. What is the worst speaker, or the most over-rated, over-priced, over-hyped speaker you have ever heard. Have you ever had speakers that you now wished you had kept?

In addition to the df-661 there were/was the LD2,LD3, and possibly an LD1. I've heard the LD2--mixed emotions about'em. Cabinets like bricks though-you're right. There's better stuff today.
At least Al can pronounce the word "nuclear"..."

We had a laugh about that in Org Chemistry class...nerds.

With a frequency response like the Rocky Mountains, the worst speaker of all time are Bose 501s. Direct/reflecting can't help either, which reminds me again of GW - Focus, GW, focus!
Anyone claiming to be concerned about the welfare of American workers who wears a $1000 three piece suit and thinks CEOs deserve their inflated salaries!!
Avantgarde. I've heard them several different times, and I don't know what all the fuss is about. Looks like something out of the movie "Barbarella" and sound like a big honky megaphone! Supposedly, amp matching is critical, but after hearing them on at least 4 different occasions, I couldn't wait to leave the room each time! The Classic Audio Reproductions (horns) driven by an Atma-sphere S-30 (30 wpc) totally blew away the Avantgarde for much less "moolah". Come to think of it, ANY other horns that I've heard sounded way more musical than the Avantgarde!
