Maybe accurate isn't the correct word, but a speaker that didn't measure well or have a flat frequency response.
In late 80's I visited a friends house (rich kid on the block), and it was the first time I heard a cd played and it was on a Bose cube system. (not sure which one)
I thought I was in audio nirvana. I could not believe that you could skip forward and back so quick! Never mind that it didn't have the hiss I had on my records and tapes.
The second time was hearing the Magnepan sometime in the 90's. I was like, no way!
I think appearances, and being naive had more to do with it than anything. The Bose was so small I couldn't believe it made sound, and the Magnepan's were so flat I couldn't believe they could sound that good. Apparently my brain filled in the missing parts.
