if you want better sound from a speaker use an 8 inch woofer. i know it is
big and bulky in a resonant box, however the resonant frequency of such a
woofer in a proper box is just right for voice and cw. the Orion has just
enuf to power to drive the speaker well unless one is very hard of hearing.
my hearing is down about 60 db in the midrange.

Hi Dave,
I replaced the front panel on my 960 Power Supply/Speaker, so I got a
good look at that speaker. It is verrry small. I guess about a 2.5 X 4
inch oval speaker. I'm pretty sure that 961 and 962 power supplies use
the same size speaker. I don't know about the unit that matches the
Jupiter. In any case, I am sure that I could get much better sound
quality from my Paragon, were I to use a larger speaker. I think when
you get the matching speaker you may like the looks and be disappointed
with the sound.

I've been toying with picking up a "Real" Tentec speaker and a 706
Microphone for my Jupiter. I have been using a little infinity bookshelf
(small woofer and tweeter, bass reflex cabinet) and been fairly happy
with it, but would really like to have matching pieces. (Yeah, I'm vain)
