I'm almost embarassed to say a pair of RF-1 speakers. They probably made less than 100 pairs and they sounded very phasey. The rep for Kenwood Electronics sucked me into buying a pair. It seems a friend of his was in the speaker business but the trouble was that the speakers I saw and listened to in his living room weren't the speakers I received. I was told the designer changed the design, and I fell for that line of BS. He hyped up the speakers so much that I decided I was going to buy them one way or another. Hey, I was only 22 and only into the hobby for 7 years at that time.The second worse component was a Click and Pop Machine to get rid of noise from my records. It did get rid of the noise, and all the music along with it. I really got taken on that one
The third one was for my car audio system, an Earthquake Bass Restorer. It restored bass all right with like 50% distortion!
