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?

Mapman, would your experience with Sonus Faber and Krell have been at a Harvey Electronics store (there used to be one in Paramus)? I heard the same combo at a Harvey down in Eatontown, NJ, and it also sounded awful. It was definitely the room (flimsy sheetrock walls); the poor distributor rep doing the demo was beside himself, finally shook the walls to let us know that it wasn't the speakers that were the problem. I too have heard SF speakers sound very nice in better conditions.
Classic, beautiful sounding (for '70's) Large Advent speakers raped and degraded by Jensen International.
Infinity Quantum Line Source. Spectacular to look at and lust for, but the worst ear fatigue ever experienced. Even the dealer admitted they sucked.
