[Elecraft] Speakers and other Bright Ideas… Maybe not so Bright...

[David Moes]

This is true in many cases.   however in many small devices like phones 
and such put decent modern drivers  in that will sound pretty good 
without all the electronic wizardry that the device uses to make it even 
better   my speaker mic was proof of that.    Its amazing how the fine 
points of speaker driver  have changed  in the miniature world of today 
yet the basic principle is still the same as the good old Rice Kellogg 
design of 1924.
