Unit defects: Poor assembly - there's nothing, absolutely nothing, worse
than a rubbing voice coil.

Design defects: I think it's non-linear operation or what else is it that 
gives some speakers a "mushy" sound - the more complex the signal, the more
it runneth together. I have heard this from at least two speakers that were
highly thought of by everyone, including net members, so to avoid the
horrible flames I will not mention their brand names (they are old designs
now, anyway and not mfrd anymore). Oh, all right, if you must have a hint,
one's name began with a K and one with an A. The number "six" was in some way 
associated with each name. No prizes for guessing.
