I woke up from a nap a few minutes ago, thinking of this - how to describe a bad speaker. I'm tired of breathless, gushy praise for speakers in audio magazines. I'll start, so you can see where I'm coming from, and please add to it.
First, the superlatives: Source output and speaker output - NO DIFFERENCE.
Then, a very, very close second: My Speakers.
So much for the good - now the bad and ugly.
These speakers left flakes of surround all over the car trunk (boot if you're a Brit) just getting them home. It happened to me.
These speakers are shooting bits of speaker fill out the port, and all over the room.
Voice coil resistance is so high, the speaker cables melted through the carpet.
The voice coil rub is louder than the music.
The neighbors' dogs are howling...
You get the idea...?
