Dave:
Well, I've tried all kinds of speakers, both amplified and non-amplified.
The best luck I have had so far has been with a non-amplified Fisher speaker
that someone recently picked up for me at a swap uphere in Michigan.
I can get you the model number if you'd like, but it is a speaker in a
plastic cabinet. The speaker cabinet is approximately 6 inches wide, 8
inches high, and 6 inches deep. The speaker itself is covered by a round
grill that is approximately 4 and a half inches in diameter. The speaker
cabinet has screw terminals on the back for the needed wire connections.
I am sure there are similar speakers out there that might be found at a
local swap with a bit of patience and persistence, so just keep trying.
