Don't spend $100's for Speakers Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I use these with my Icom IC-7610. They sound very good. They are a good match for size and style. The Pyle PCB3BK speakers are a little smaller. They match the IC-7300 and IC-9700. They also are plenty good for communications. Both models lack any obvious frequency quirks. There is no discernable distortion. I added stick-on rubber feet.

Great for CW and SSB Ham Radio Use Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought a pair of the Pyle PCB4BK speakers for $35.00 on ePay with free shipping. I wanted something that didn't sound 'tinny' like the last two $100+ Icom speakers I tried. These are about a 5" cube and are not light plastic. I have been impressed with their fidelity and much more 'normal' sound for both CW and SSB. I believe they are a good value and are replacing my two 40-year-old Motorola TSN600A-1 speakers that still sound good but, the Pyle speakers look nicer with my equipment and sound a little better. Pick up a pair of them if you're wanting better quality receive audio.

Why pay more? Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Found a brand new pair of the PCB3BK a couple of months ago for $12. It's been very good, but a little small.

Now I found a brand new pair of the PCB4BK for $20. They are even better, both the audio quality and the size, as it's almost a perfect match for the IC-718 and IC-7300.

Best small "passiv" in-shack speaker I own. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Saw the reivews and bought a pair over the holidays via Walmart.com.
Gotta say this is the greatest little "passive" speaker I have ever used with my Icom 7300.
Try one-they come as a pair. I use on the Icom and Yaesu rigs.
Clear voice speech. Just enough base and treble for my old ears.

Solid basic speakers Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was looking for relatively inexpensive, decent quality, small footprint speakers that would be an improvement over the rig's built-in speaker. These meet all of those criteria. A pair can be purchased online for less than $30. They are about 4" cubes and appear to be well made with a fair amount of heft to them. They definitely are an improvement over my transceivers' (Elecraft K2 and Kenwood TS-530S) stock speakers: fuller sound and less "crackle". Solid choice and won't break the bank.

Good sound for the $ Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased a pair of these taking a chance as I'd never heard of them before. Hooked one each to a couple of my mobile transceivers that I use in the shack.

They work great! Good 'full' sound, big improvement over the small built in speakers in the rigs.

Just ordered another pair to complete my setup. The last pair were just under $22 from the company that offers "prime" shipping.

Good sound Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I bought an IC-R75 with hopes of adding an IC-718 later on. Both have similar built in speakers that are small, not to loud, and rather lacking in response.

I thought a smallish "bookshelf" speaker might do the trick, the Pyle PCB4BK seemed to fit the bill.

They come in a pair. I ran a pair (parallel, 4 ohms) with my IC-R75 for a year, and the sound was very very nice. On broadcast, I got full and deep low end response, and nice crisp highs. The little cabinets have tuned ports to enhance the lows.

Just got the IC-718 hooked up, and transferred one of the Pyle PCB4BK speakers over to it, with similar "better than that built in factory speaker" results.

I'm happy with them. They don't distort on the available output from either of the radios. They can take 200w (peak) audio. They have push type wire connectors on their rear panel.

I'm as cheap as the next guy, appreciate a bargain, and these seem to fit. They are not optimized for "speech", but full range. They are completely passive, no EQ or DSP built in. But you can buy 'em for under $30 on the various on-line sites.

I can't see getting another type of speaker, ever.
