The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.

Kennyb,
interesting opinion, I have audition them few times on different ocasions (always clearly better them competition), they are one of the best, as I remember with Hovland and Accuphase AP Avantii III was 3rd or 4-th the best sound on HE 2001 in NY

I agree, Thiel's do not sound like music, but hi-fi. Also I think that Martin Logans are very overrated, no body to the music, again hi-fi instead of live concert in my opinion.

Revel Salons are the most over hyped speakers I've ever heard. I've listened to the Salons in a number of show rooms and with same result in each case - too bright and not nearly accurate enough in pin pointing instruments within the soundstage (i.e. flat). They do have good bass, but they better for $14K. Nevertheless, you'd never catch a pair of those in my listening room.

Bose 901s. An early edition.

Any Wharfedale period!!!
