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?

It got panned by John Atkinson in a Stereophile review in 1994, but got praise for low distortion and accuracy by Peter Aczel in The Audio Critic. I think it is still being sold as a home theater speaker, based on eBay ads, and I think the manufacturer is RBH(?).

I've heard the LD2--mixed emotions about'em. Cabinets like bricks though-you're right. There's better stuff today.

We had a laugh about that in Org Chemistry class...nerds. With a frequency response like the Rocky Mountains, the worst speaker of all time are Bose 501s. Direct/reflecting can't help either, which reminds me again of GW - Focus, GW, focus!
