The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.

I got to hear a demo between some Fried R4 (I think?) and some Bose 501. The Bose had that lobby sound.....like you were at a live performance, but out in the lobby listening with the doors closed. I'm not exaggerating.....I was surprised it was so bad considering I didn't have any negative Bose feelings at the time.

My brother ended up with the Fried which were great speakers for the time and system.

Thiel. Any of em.

I agree with Forever. He is right on the money in my opinion. I can't say what a good speaker sounds like let alone a bad one. I only know what I like!

Kennyb,
interesting opinion, I have audition them few times on different ocasions (always clearly better them competition), they are one of the best, as I remember with Hovland and Accuphase AP Avantii III was 3rd or 4-th the best sound on HE 2001 in NY

I agree, Thiel's do not sound like music, but hi-fi. Also I think that Martin Logans are very overrated, no body to the music, again hi-fi instead of live concert in my opinion.
