The single most appalling quality for me is lack of clarity in high-end speakers.  It is the first thing I notice when listening to speakers. I have heard many expensive high-end speakers that lack this quality.  The music seems to struggle to get out of the speakers to a greater or lesser extent.  There is something that exist between the listener and music that prohibits a connection with the music. I have seen the quality remain after amplifiers had been swithched clearly indicating it was the speakers themselves.  When clarity is there you do not need to have "audiophile" demo disc to connect with the music.  I have only heard two systems in my life that held this quality to the extreme. In both cases the speakers were custom built.

Montepilot, clarity was not the moment that I meant in my assessment of the “the worst” but since you mentioned “clarity” I am willing to follow up your comment and propose you to elaborate on what clarity is. The “music seems to struggle to get out of the speakers” – the definition you offered is very far from what clarity might mean. In fact I think your definition was about nothing, in fact I do not see that any speakers can change the rate in witch “music ejects itself out of speakers”. So, if you feel that clarity is the problem in today Hi-Fi that you need to assign to it some kind of other meaningful behavior.
