Most are satisfied with small speakers and some like the big 8-12 ones that seem to cut some of the high frequency hiss. 

It's not one size fits all and even a particular speaker size is not a one size fits all. I can see where a speaker enclosure that matches would be desirable for a lot of folks where you could install your preferred speaker. 
Look at how many $200 speakers with filters have been sold by the big3 to match their radios. 

I've used small ones, a kenwood one and currently using an old classroom public address speaker. It seems the large ones are hard to find around here. 

I've also finally got rid of my hiss/roar/frying bacon with the addition of a external equalizer and mainly pushing the 3.5 slider of the unit to -4 to -6db. (3.2 on k3 @-16). 
RFI was a bit of a problem for my close antenna.
