We talk about the best speakers all the time. What are the worst you've heard and what made them so bad?
Ed.: I thought I wouldn't need to mention multimedia or PC speakers were probably always going to be terrible so I didn't mention them, but yeah, disregarding those...
For me, two speakers stand out as infuriatingly terrible.
1. Barefoot MM27 Gen 1. Huge presence peak so very harsh sounding (they give a false sense of detail and precision from it), very scooped, messy uncontrolled low end. Also run out of headroom surprisingly fast for how much amp they have.
2. PMC 8-2. Boomy low end, muddled midrange, very very bright.
