Acoustic Research 328PS (cheap, very cheap speakers)
August 2019

Why buy super low budget floor standing speakers just to bash them?
Not really the goal here, even if the temptation is great. I do need music in my garage after all.
At $100CAD used, and fed by a $50 integrated Class D amplifier/Tuner/Preamp, they just boom the shed with huge bass boost. :)

I won!
I just found the worst speaker I ever measured in my life. Worse than my previous Cerwin Vega :)
And that was not a small feat to beat them in a packed race to the bottom...
​
Here’s a 1 meter measurement in a non-optimal setup.
​
-
10% distortion.
-
Long time delay.
-
Very lively enclosure, no bracing used inside.
-
cheap, you buy cheap, you get cheap
That says it all...
