Get one of those shelf systems (Aiwa, Panasonic, whatever) at a garage

speaker in a closed back plastic box sounds very pleasant. Avoid
2-way speakers has they just make the noise louder.

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?
