HOME-MADE SPEAKERS
Undoubtedly the best types of mov-ing-coil speaker represent the most efficient form of reproducer yet devised. The moving-coil speaker is to the oldfashioned horn speaker what a sharply focussed photograph is to a rough impressionist pencil sketch. Its reproduction is crisp, well-balanced, and full of detail; each instrument in an orchestra “comes through” with its own characteristic timbre. Moreover, moving-eoil models can be obtained in sizes from the largest suitable for large halls or outdoor work down to those quite suitable for the home. Probably the next best is a good balanced-armature instrument. These may be obtained complete with cone and handsome cabinet, but the handy constructor may purchase the working portion only and fit his own cone, mounting the whole in any form of cabinet which pleases his fancy. This, of course, is a great convenience to those who desire to design and build their own self-contained radio set or radio-gramophone combination. It is also possible to purchase separate mov-ing-coil speaker units for mounting on baffles. A little ingenuity will enable the baffle to be disguised as a firescreen or draught screen, or to be built into an existing set.—-“Magna Vox” in “Otago Daily Times. ’ ’
