Speakers: all-time worst


What is the all-time worst (home audio speaker systems, not the plastic cabinets or ceiling types) loudspeaker system that you have heard, and why? In other words, the all-time worst value.

I'm glad I'm not he only one who thinks BOSE is one of the worst speakers. I remember when I was in high school a friend of mine was telling me how the BOSE 901's were the best sounding speakers. Even back then, with my limited audio experience, when I heard them in a store I could never understand why people thought this. The various array of drivers was supposed to simulate a "live" sound. Obviously they've done a great job in the marketing department because every major electronics store and department store sells them. The thing that upsets me is that things like the "Acoustimass" system are not inexpensive. People could get so much more enjoyment for their money if they would go to the audio specialty shops instead of the "Best Buy/Circuit City" type places. But most people are like sheep I guess.
