I agree with the recommendation. Back in the 80s and 90s, we used a lot 
of the smaller loudspeakers in this series to excite rooms with sine 
sweeps, pink noise, and various other test signals for acoustic testing. 
Yes, in those days the enclosure was a dull silver-colored metal. I 
never used them myself -- I found some other really nice speakers that I 
still have (and are now running on my K3). I haven't touted them here, 
because they've been discontinued for 20 years. :)

It's silly to spend big bucks for a speaker (or mic) for the ham shack. 
We don't need extended response, but we do want FLAT response and 
reasonably low distortion in the voice range.
