Default B40 replacement speaker?

This brings up a thought that's been bouncing around in my head for awhile.
I have several things that generate audio, each with their own crappy little
speaker. That seems kinds wasteful and redundant.

A quick search with Google for portable audio mixers turned up a class of
devices used with DV camcorders to mix microphone inputs. A couple accepted
line level inputs and provided amplified output. There was even one built
into a sub-mini D-25 connector specifically made for aircraft. Add to that
a pair of quality lightweight MP3 speakers and you have a one pound audio
system with several inputs, each with level controls.

Possibly - but speaker failures on the Borgelt varios are legend. The
manufacturer-supplied speaker is tiny and crap, as I discovered some
years ago. As Tim says, almost any replacement will work.

it is just barely audible, and I'm wondering what to do for a
replacement speaker.


Any suggestions?
