Converting electrical power to mechanical power is fraught with peril. One way to get excellent performance from 300 to 3000 Hertz is to have very good performance from 30 to 30,000 Hertz. Or something like that. We want to be in the safely linear portion of the speaker.
That said, I just bought some cheap Pyle speakers (two for $20) and am trying them out. Because hams are cheap. But I really wanted some of the old Radio Shack small two-way speakers. I have one of those on my Lowe HF-150 Europa and it is just fine, thank you. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Oct 16, 2016, at 5:17 PM, Dave Cole <d...@nk7z.net> wrote: > > On Sun, 2016-10-16 at 18:28 -0400, Don Wilhelm wrote: >> Bret, >> >> In my opinion, a speaker should not "color" the audio response of the >> receiver. > > Au contraire, the speaker is as much a part of the radio as the > synthesizer, or the APF is.
