This is true in many cases. however in many small devices like phones and such put decent modern drivers in that will sound pretty good without all the electronic wizardry that the device uses to make it even better my speaker mic was proof of that. Its amazing how the fine points of speaker driver have changed in the miniature world of today yet the basic principle is still the same as the good old Rice Kellogg design of 1924.

Where the speaker, its driving electronics and the enclosure are all in one package, there's great scope to compensate for all the short-comings of the arrangement with sophisticated (software) filters which you will not get when you salvage just the speaker which is not in itself optimised for clarity - it's the whole ensemble.
