  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?

Anyone ever hear the Reuben Guss speakers at CES some years ago? A friend said they were the worst by quite a margin. About 100 drivers of all sorts of sizes arranged in a rather haphazard manner in a refrigerator size cabinet, and from what he said, they were very expensive, several tens of thousands of dollars, if memory serves. I've seen a fair number of weird ones over the years myself.
