What's the worst speaker or stereo set-up you've ever seen?
This is Hal's (Malcom in the Middle) Hifi... Start the video @ 8:15 and wait until you see the dozen, or so, speakers hooked up all over the room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqys_psQ3Bo DeKay |

Big news, was Fabio, getting his nose broke on a roller coaster!!!! My dog’s head is cocked sideways.. The goat, still on the SL for eatin’ my hat. So his thought’s don’t count...(the goat) Could you explain to her (girl dog), why Fabio’s broken nose has anything to do with his system? I think it ruined something else.. AND the big stereo is a cover up.... It’s got to have something to do with the Covid 19 thing too... Look at Italy, they were sure hit hard.......Right...;-( Got to be some government cover up... How am I doing.. ;-) She is awaiting your words on this...BTW she's not allergic, to most human breads, some of the long hair though, a little Benadryl, and she's good. Regards |
Maybe 25 yrs ago. A good friend of mine at the time had me over to listen to his brand new Legacy Focus. The speakers were visually stunning. But he had them running with a pair of HK 100 wpc monoblocks that made them sound like there was a mattress between the speakers and me. All I heard was a giant midrange. No highs, no lows. Totally sucked, which was a shame because he had the right room size for those speakers. Needless to say, he got some real amps for those speakers after that, but he moved to another state. So I never got to hear them again. |
At another and more recent gathering, the wife and I went to her friend's house with whom she had recently reconnected. The friend and her husband hosted a pretty nice party in the back yard. Pool, outdoor kitchen, covered patio, the whole sha-bang. They had music playing that was so loud and distorted that i had to see what equipment was hiding in the racks and what speakers were hanging from under the patio eaves. They were Bose outdoor somethings being pushed by a decent Yamaha receiver. The funniest of all this was that the guy who designed the patio and chose and installed the audio gear was there and was bragging about how long it took him to get the sound just right and couldn't believe how good "it still sounds". Wake up doooood. Complete garbage sounding. |
I read about Fabio’s system being that, almost 20 years ago. All of the components are at least that old, some older. If he was that much of an audiophile to own all that top-line gear back then, he’s absolutely certain to have upgraded (or at least significantly swapped out components) by now. And how did Fabio's system end up in a thread of "worst system you've ever seen", anyway. His system, quite frankly, seems "Fabulous" |
