$50+ speaker boxes ... why do people buy these?
So I went to the Belton, TX hamfest yesterday, and picked up a few
things ... But I saw a number of speaker boxes that people were asking as much as $70 for ... why would somebody pay this much for a speaker box? I just don't get it. It's just a box with a speaker in it. It's about the easiest thing in the world to make yourself, or you could pick up one that was used in something like a police car for around $10 (I saw some of those too.) Or you could use one from a computer speaker (though the $3 models are probably too crappy even for ham radio use.) Do people want something that matches their radio equipment? Are they collectors? Am I understimating the quality needed to accurately reproduce a 800 hz CW signal or a SSB conversation? :) -- Doug McLaren, "I must get up. There is much evil to do." |
