[Boatanchors] speaker advise wanted

[N4ue@aol.com]

Hi all, I am going to be rebuilding my shack/museum later this year. I have 
acquired a nice collection of boatanchor recievers from my early years. These 
radios will be recapped, cleaned, then really used. Although they were all 
available with matching speakers, I probably won't try to acquire a matching 
speaker for each radio. (Ever try to buy an RME 6901 speaker??) I have 
several small audio amps and plan to run the audio lines from each radio, to 
a selector switch, then to a common speaker (or two). Today, at a local 
'superstore', I found a pair of nice GE "indoor/outdoor" speakers, for about 
$25 a pair. They are nice sized and the magnet for the speaker appears to be 
quite substantial. It is touted as being '3 way' and although I didn't look 
that close, they probably had a couple of concentric cones inside. 
Anyone ever use these? At this price, I would be willing to get a speaker for 
each receiver. Another alternative is the speaker offered in the auto 
departments of said store. Impressive looking 6" X 9" speaker sets for little 
money. Only downside is that there are no cabinets, these being intended for 
rear shelf, etc mounting.
I have had pretty good results in the past with the cheap 4" RS speakers. For 
just CW and SSB listening, they work better than nothing, but I was looking 
for an "upgrade".
I did purchase a couple of large RS stereo speakers last year, but I wasn't 
too impressed. I guess they are designed more for the booming bass the kids 
so dearly love.

Any suggestions?

thanks,
