What was the MSRP of the Grove SP-200? When were they available on the market?
Did he mention what would happen if you put 13 watts to that speaker? It's music power, a very short burst of audio, and a sinus wave tone would have to be at a much lower wattage without going into distorsion. The stamped wattage isn't that important, even if you have a 100 watt amplifier. Adjust the volume control so that you do not get distorted audio. That goes for any kind of speaker and audio amplifier and you are within the limits of what the audio system can produce without getting overloaded that potentially could harm it.Looking at them I saw they were 25 Watt, 4 Ohm speakers,
He said the speakers should be OK as long as I didn't exceed 12.5 Watts. None of my radios put out more than 6 watts, so its OK there.
JBL Control 1 Pro speakers. Once you hear them, you'll never go back.
I first learned about these speakers when Bob Heil did an in depth review in one of his podcasts. Figured if Bob Heil made the choice, they must be pretty good, and of course he was right.
But I might pick up a set of those speakers and listen to music on the internet instead.
Thanks everyone for your input!
If you do that, throw in a Topping VX1 amplifier. You won't believe how good internet music will sound with this combination.
I do the same thing. Seems like Motorola speaker are everywhere, and cheap/durable.Been using surplus Motorola speakers for years. No equalizer, but they sound great. $5 at any ham fest near you.
I use these speakers, which I have found under different names, and various vendors. They are decent for FM voice use, and not too expensive.
