The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.

Revel Salons are the most over hyped speakers I've ever heard. I've listened to the Salons in a number of show rooms and with same result in each case - too bright and not nearly accurate enough in pin pointing instruments within the soundstage (i.e. flat). They do have good bass, but they better for $14K. Nevertheless, you'd never catch a pair of those in my listening room.

Bose 901s. An early edition.

Any Wharfedale period!!!

Anyone ever hear the Reuben Guss speakers at CES some years ago? A friend said they were the worst by quite a margin. About 100 drivers of all sorts of sizes arranged in a rather haphazard manner in a refrigerator size cabinet, and from what he said, they were very expensive, several tens of thousands of dollars, if memory serves. I've seen a fair number of weird ones over the years myself.

Without a doubt, Wilson Cubs. After I plugged them in and put some music on, my wife immediately came into the living room and said, "Wow, those are bright speakers."

My ears still hurt when I think about them. Like fingernails on a blackboard.

I owned them for two weeks and immediately traded them in. I was stunned that any magazine, person, or anything with ears had recommended them. And trust me, it wasn't the room, the placement, the amp, the front-end, etc., it was the speakers! Only recording engineers with no more top end hearing would like them. And maybe not even then.
