[1000mp] Speaker For Mark V

[Rob Atkinson]

I use an  8 ohm 10 or 15 watt speaker from a PA system that i bought at 
a hamfest for a few dollars.  It's about 10 inches diameter.  it's 
mounted in a box with a cloth grill and is open in the back because it 
was meant to hang on a wall.   works fine with the Mk V as far as I'm 
concerned.   plenty of volume and wide response.
