Speakers: all-time worst

Their is no way in hell that bose stuff can compete with the speakers in my sisters panasonic mini system, i mean a peace of tin foil would sound better than them. They have only one thing excesive boomy bass, but i geuss that sells. but i have not heard bose to compare

I agree with some of the above post's.The bose 901 is the worst sounding expensive speaker I have ever heard.

As bad as Bose speakers are I would rather listen to them than any of the old Klipsch designs( Klipschorns, La Scala, Belle, Cornwall, Heresy.) Yes they play loud with little power and are very dynamic but WHO CARES when you have those God awful horns screaming at you. Five minutes to a major headache. I can't believe anyone actually enjoys listening to these obnoxious sounding things.

How about a tri-amped system running Heil's for the tweeters, 901's for the mids and some Vega's for bottom end ??? Power amps would have to be some old "industry standard" Crown's ( of course ) !!! This oughta make you cringe just thinking about it !!!! Are your ears bleedin' yet ??? Sean >

I have to say, probably the ABSOLUTE WORST I have heard are an old pair of Jensons a friend of mine had (not any more!). But I have to disagree with the opinions of the Klipsch speakers. I just auditioned the new RFs last night at a hi-fi shop, and I was quite pleased. Not exactly audiophile quality by all means, but they beat most I've heard. I like the horn design. But everyone has their own opinions, and we all like our music to sound a bit different.
