Heck, I am not trying to be down on audio accessories this week.. However 
the Motorola speakers are truly excellent value when they show up at hamfests.
  Motorola spent considerable time and money engineering these speakers to 
reproduce speech as effectively as possible in noisy environments , this 
makes them ideal for most ham applications. They are very solidly made as well.

I bet that Motorola's speakers would cost a lot more than 5 Euro if they 
were manufactured new for the ham market.

One other thing, some of them are 2 Ohm impedance which is a little low for 
most ham rigs however they are very efficient so simply sticking a 2 Ohm 2W 
resistor in series so that your rig sees ~4 Ohms works fine and leaves 
ample volume for shack use.
