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?

The worst $$K speaker I've ever personally encountered from a 'major' manufacturer came from Velodyne, of all companies.

I'm probably going to make some enemies saying this, but I've never heard a good speaker made by a subwoofer company, and I've never heard a good subwoofer made by a speaker company. On the same note, I've never heard a good speaker or sub made by a television company.

To answer the original question, anybody who has worked or shopped in CE in Western Canada should recognize this name: Nuance. Enough said.
>>I've never heard a good subwoofer made by a speaker company.<<

IMO Vandersteen does both quite well.
'and most speakers with Fostex full range cone.'

I'll have to disagree with that comment. I would say the Fostex F200a full range cone Is as good as anything out there. Its mid range is so revealing. To my humble shell likes anyway.

KCS- Makes excellent speakers and subwoofers.

Audiofeil, they may well, and I would not presume to disagree with you. I certainly haven't heard every offering in the world. Mostly I was making a blanket statement for humorous effect.
