I think it depends. I have a pair of Radio Shack Minimus-7's that I
picked up here and there at a garage sales, and I'd use them over a lot
of the speakers that come with cheaper all in one stereos. They are my
"computer speakers" and I use them with an amplifier from a small bookshelf
system that I paid five dollars for. But I left the speakers there, since
they most definitely were not better than the Minimus-7s.

Do any of you have any recomendations on an appropriate speaker for my R-8?
I've heard from some the the new inexpensive computer speakers are a good
alternate to an expensive ICOM or Yeasu communication receiver speaker. Any
opinions?

at this time i am using an AOR AR5000A+3 the extension speaker i am using is
an AIWA centre speaker of a surround sound speaker system the sound is
crystal clear.....look on ebay you can pic centre speakers up for a really
cheap amount. and there are all kinds of makes.
if you have a surround sound system in your home try the centre speaker if
your happy with the results then buy one to use on your receiver. and
replace your own one back with your hifi..

For ''tailor mades'' you cannot beat these for the money. They'll
make any radio sound like a Grundig Majestic:
