[R-1051] Speaker hook up

I have several R-1051B's and use the military LS-206 dual speaker panels, 
which have a 600 ohm transformer each side. This produces room filling 
volume and I have never found the need for an amplifier.   Nor did the navy 
when these were in use, such as my experience at Skaggs Island.

Those with access to an audio wattmeter will notice that the audio from most 
stereo amps when being listened to is in the milliwatt range.  Turned up to 
the several-watt level means discomfort and the 50-100 Watt level means 
shattered windows.

The audio output connectors on the cabinet rear were considered auxiliary in 
nature.  I suppose it is possible that some runs didn't even wire them.
