Steve, I suspect that lack of an external speaker jack comes with the type
of audio output circuitry used in the Pegasus: balanced output to ground
and no ground. A two-circuit connector would have to be used and virtually
all external speakers have one side of their input grounded at the
connector.
An external speaker could be easily used if an isolation transformer were
employed.
