Available under Harris brand Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
As the first reviewer stated, this is a good speaker at a better price. Mine carries the Harris logo, but I think it is otherwise identical to the M/A-COM. There's one on eBay presently for $20, shipped. With the included mounting bracket, I found it easy to hang beneath a riser where it takes up little space. The angle is easily adjusted. It replaces a nice TenTec 307B speaker, takes up much less real-estate but sounds as good to my ears.

A great value Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
If one so desires, you can search my reviews here for speakers. I'm always looking for the best "audio interface" for MY ears, from the antenna to my eardrum.
Yes, I've purchased the 'matching" speakers from the big 3, plus Collins and Drake. Always have been disappointed, when compared to some of the el-cheapo 'thrift store' speakers.....
Like a Sony (center) Surround Sound 8 ohm job.

Anyway, I wanted something to go with the new 7610. You may know it has 2 receivers, and 2 outputs. I'm presently using an Icom SP-23 (modified). I thought about another, but the price of these should be $30, NOT $300. I have had excellent results with the Kenwood KES-5 and it's identical clone (M/A-COM 19A149590P11).
The M/A-COMs are difficult to find.

So, I found the new pair M/A-COM LS102824V1 R1A on eBay for a great price. They look VERY much like the Motorola police car speakers, which are also excellent.

I did a short test today using the 7300 and an audio switcher, listening to AM, SSB, and CW.
I was surprised that the 'R1A' sounded slightly better to my ears than the KES-5.

These speakers are all over eBay, new and used. They are an excellent sounding and well built speaker. You might have to fabricate a mount, but to me, that's 1/2 the fun!
