Indeed, Gary, this is one of the most popular questions on Flex reflectors.
I would like to give you a "general" answer based, as always, on my own
personal experiences. In the early '50s one of the electronics magazines
published an article on a speaker system the author called "the sweet
sixteen." It used sixteen four inch general replacement speakers of the
type found at that time in table model radios. As a 14 year old newly
interested in "high fidelity" I built one and while at the time I thought it
was wonderful of course the theory behind it is questionable and the results
quite horrible.
But to answer your question, I don't know why more people don't simply go
into their store of retired music reproduction systems and attach to their
radios. I did that with my Hammarlund HQ-180 long ago and not so long ago
took a SONY ES "receiver" and today "Video 1" is the Flex 3000 and "Video 2"
is the Flex 5000A. I even built a "take off" of the sweet 16 and built a
"sweet 8" using far better drivers! My point is that nearly any stereo
components that can be assembled to function as a sound system will be
overkill as far as "speakers" suitable for communications receiver use is
concerned.
Anything more really just an interesting facet of our ham radio hobby.
Anything that interests and satisfies you is certainly OK.
