Default Biggish speaker in wood box wanted

...
I like listening to shortwave and ham stuff using biggish speakers.
Little speakers like computer speakers sound chintzy to my ears.

As examples, I have an old 50's Caliphone record player/PA system that
has two remote 15" speakers and I just love the way my shortwave and
ham stuff sounds through these speakers. I also have some Electovoice
EV5's (again, big old mellow speakers) and I love the way things sound
through these.


If you want to build your own baffle or case, maybe you'd like to try a Quam
8C10FEPAXB. 8" coaxial (i.e. has whizzer cone), 40-20,000 Hz, 97 dB spl
(1w/1m), 8 ohms. $14.16 from http://www.tselectronic.com
