David,

Here are two "Add-On" Speakers for most Recevivers :
.
The Hisonic HS-668 Sound Studio amplified stereo speaker
is excellent for use for multi purposes including boosting
the sound volume and improving the audio quality of amatuer
radio transceivers and receivers.

from your transceiver, receiver or portable.

Judging from your posts, you're familiar with the console radios of
the 30's and 40's, even if you only owned them later on. Some of them
used what the designers called an "acoustic labyrinth" in the cabinet -
a "hallway" the rear wave of the speaker was sent through, emerging
(usually) in the back or bottom of the cabinet, and in-phase with the
front wave. The Bose radio design uses that basic principal in
miniature. For a tabeltop radio, it has well-above-average sound, but
it doesn't approach the sound of a good shelf hi-fi system, and is
overpriced for what you get, IMO.

Cambridge uses a powered subwoofer/bandpass enclosure.

Thanks for the information about the Bose Radios.Yep,I too think they
are overpriced.(if I see one at the Goodwill store,of course I will buy
it for a few dollars) I own three old wind up Victrola style
Phonographs.One of them is a floor model and it was made by a furniture
company in Louisiana.One of them I think is a childs style of a
Phonograph,it is small and portable and it has a sort of a cardboard
"hallway labyrinth" that directs the sound around inside of the
cabinet.About two or three years ago,I saw a Cambridge Radio at a local
Wal Mart store,it was priced somewhere around $245.00.I think the best
sounding Radios are wooden cabinet Radios with big speakers.

They are overpriced junk. Cambridge hifi.com makes a better
comparably priced product, nicknamed the Bose Killer.

I have many radios, including Drakes, Grundigs, Sonys, a Lowe HF-225,
but the best sounding solid state radio of the lot
is the Philips D2999. The best sounding overall is a tube radio,
Grundig Barcelona, with five speakers (three front, two sides).

I fired up the old Lowe HF-150 this afternoon and was again bowled over
by the quality of its audio.

This made me wonder: Which solid state receiver has the best audio? And
I don't mean the best audio with the built in speaker, but with a
reasonably good external speaker.

Is it the HF-150? The HF-225? Something else?

What's your opinion?

A communications receiver will be somewhat hampered in comparison to
one designed for program listening. So here's my choices:

Of the communications receivers the Kenwood R-5000 produces enjoyable
audio for program listening and does a superb job on voice
communications.

One of the large Grundig Satellit models like the 650 or 3400 will
produce very enjoyable audio for program listening with the built-in
speaker alone.

The Panasonic RF-5000b is a very old 22 pound analog receiver that
produces the mellowest audio I've heard from a solid state luggable
radio. I honestly think it would lose something if the audio were sent
to an external speaker or amp.
