Most harsh/shrill sounding speakers (vintage)

Aside from the Yamaha NS-10M Studio Monitor, what are the worst sounding speakers that can make your ears bleed and provoke listening fatigue instantly even at a reasonably low volume. Speakers that are too bright, too snappy, too "honest", y'know, speakers that just sound like crap. The worst sounding speakers ever, if there is anything worst than the Yamaha NS-10.

Yes sorry for not making it clear in the opening, this topic is dedicated to hifi speakers. Hence why I mentioned the Yamaha NS-10. They do sound fantastic in a well treated room though. I wanted to see if other speakers in that category and in the vintage zone might be available at a low price given that people dislike their sound out of the box so much. Studio monitors often are disliked for their sound because people don’t know how to use them. But the Yamaha NS-10 horizontal studio monitors sound absolutely great. No mistake. I mentioned they sound like crap because it’s their reputation. :)

@noromance ....then, how did you come to own a Cyrus if it did that?  A youthful exuberance that, like some, went from 10+ to -0 ?

...curious minds, y'know....*G*

Funny CV speakers got mention 1stish thing....I just got gifted with a single BIC-Venturi speaker with dual horns (one horizontal, one vertical) with a 12" woof....

I remember running into pair of them in a smallish living room...

Don't recall how 'good' they were, but loud?

damn...*L*
