<VV> Speakers for LM

[john beck]

A long time ago I thought about mounting two small 4 ohm speakers, wired 
in series in the stock location.  I never did it but it would present 
roughly 8 ohm impedance to the radio and depending on the speaker 
selection, could sound pretty good.  One challenge would be finding high 
efficiency 4 ohm drivers, that won't break the bank. You could also use 
an impedance matching transformer.  I think Hammond makes some that 
would work great and are fairly inexpensive.
