Re: The Stereo stuff I hated the most

Worst component I've ever owned was a Pioneer SX-3700 receiver I bought in 1980. There are alot of Pioneer fans here so I'll leave it at that but the blue power meters were cute.

Worst speakers were the original version of the Snell Type J. I hated them after I lived with them for awhile and will never understand what people think were so magical about them. No deep bass, overdamped midbass, a thin and lifeless midrange and irritating treble, no dynamic range to speak of and....ugh. A waste of a good SEAS woofer with a crossover that looked like someone's electronics shop project...from junior high school.

Worst CD player was an early Music Hall that was imported in the early 90s. I swear the thing was mono.
