Hi: Where could I find a good speaker system for am/shortwave? You
mention:

But for AM or shortwave, true "high fidelity" speakers are five times
better than the signal going through them. A thirty-dollar "rectangular
box" with, say a 6" woofer and a cone tweeter will get everything out of
a shortwave or medium wave signal that is in there.

A tweeter is a small speaker especially designed to reproduce high
frequencies. "Surround sound" is a (usually) five speaker array most
often connected with home theater systems.

Some speakers cover their frequency range with two speakers, a woofer
and a tweeter (bass and treble), some use three, the intermnediate
speaker being called a "squawker". The number of speakers in the
cabinet has no bearing on the quality of the speaker system, or it's
accuracy - it's just two different ways of doing the same thing.

A horn speaker uses a flared horn to reproduce high frequencies. The
highs through a horn speaker tend to be very intense.

Either the Tivoli or the Grundig may give you pretty good results with
good speakers, for FM music. But for AM or shortwave, true "high
fidelity" speakers are five times better than the signal going through
them. A thirty-dollar "rectangular box" with, say a 6" woofer and a
cone tweeter will get everything out of a shortwave or medium wave
signal that is in there.

Also consider, as you add speakers, the ohm load presented to the
amplifier in the radio generally goes down - making the output phase
work harder - a lot harder, depending on the way you wire them up. If
you are thinking of connecting either the Tivoli or the Grundig to four
speakers, you may run into problems - talk to an audio electronics
expert, if you can (NOT the high school kid on duty at Best Buy).
