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?

Worst speakers I ever heard are the ones I listen to daily at work. Crappy little boombox with nothing but about 1 watt of the worst midrange you can imagine, no bass, no treble. In order for us to hear it at all, we place it in a metal bowl to amplify what I would consider the worst sounding radio ever. Most overly rated would be bose. All boom hiss! I chuckle inside whenever I tell someone that I've become a stereo geek and then, in a poor attempt to relate, they tell me about some bose system that they recently heard that knocked there socks off. I usually just smile and say "yeah, bose sounds great!!" and walk off shaking my head.
Hi Adam,

Well, if they cost you $7000, which anyway you slice it, isn't chump change, and lost a lot of money on the deal, you would feel the same way.

Anyway, yes I did audition them, but it was very briefly @ CES '93. Yes, I did make a mistake by going by that. But, a lot of people have gotten burned in this hobby. I know I'm not the only one. You live and learn.

Take care.
Okay David ..... I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I hope that you are now enjoying the music with your current system. Take it easy, and Happy Holidays !
Hi Adam,

Thanks, I appreciate that. It's times like those that almost make you wanna get out of this hobby.

Yes I am, and thankfully so.

Likewise!
I heard them at different times at shows and they were simply awful. Not saying they are bad products, just that they weren't doing themselves any favors. The Statements were played so loud and were so bass heavy in the room that I started to feel queasy. Who wants that from their system?
