The Worst Speaker Ever?!

I think that might be the "Bass Reflex System"

Take the fullrangers out adam, they may be decent in something yet. 

lol.. i remember jamo's ..the (piss) poor mans imitation cerwin vega's ;)

i remember a set of tower hifi speakers i encountered by them which couldnt manage more than a handful of watts before bottoming out ! ..not even satisfying for a hifi ..shame :)

for clarity, when i was about 16 ..in my nievity i bought the meantioned pair of tower speakers for peanuts from a second hand shop without thinking to check them over.
they lasted all of an afternoon before i immedately put them up for sale again.

i guess there is a market out there for them, which doesnt mind some of their 'shortcomings' ..tho i really wasnt in that crowd frankly ;)

as for 2nd hand cabinets of the hifi variety which will cost you sod all at a car booter.. but arent bad. look out for the 1960's leak speakers with aluminum sandwich cones ..pretty good, but not spl demons ;) (designed for valve amps) ..for something a little more serious power, for the hifi faire ..there were some very nice, large speakers in the mid 90's from cerwin vega ..not major league 'audiophile' stuff ..tho you maybe lucky enough to find them at a car booter for peanuts too ;) :)

:)

best ever steal was a set of 8" coned tannoy studio monitor passive cabs for £20 at a radio rally.. early 90s things i think. down right bloody awesome things too :) ..excellent bass extension, good clean balanced sound :)

wont see them at that price too often tho.

Yeah, i think car boot sales and flea markets occasionally throw up something good for small money. I bought a pair of Castle Conways (mark 1) for a tenner a few years back.
