Some Facts About LOudsPeakers.
Part /.

There are so many makes and so
many types of loudspeakers on the
market that it is very difficult for the
average fan not well acquainted with
the principles underlying the opera
ton of the various types and the good
and bad points of the loudspeakers- of
different manufacturers. to choose the
best type Of loudSpeaker which Will
fill his needs.
AS in every other case, there are
several factors which must be con-
sidered before any attempt is made to
effect purchase at any OF the RADIO
stores, which are only too glad to sup
ply you with any type of loudspeaker
from the cheapest horn and phones
type to the most expensive electrody-
manic type OF speaker.
The first consideration is that Of
price No matter what your needs may
be, the amount of money you can af-
ford is, in the last analysis, the gov
erning factor in your choice OF q
loudspeaker.
The question OF How much can I
afford to spend?" is, therefore, the
first thing that the prospective pur-
chaser must ask himself.
It must be remembered, however,
that there is such a thing as getting
more than is necessary. No business
car for business trip merely because
he mas enough money TO be able to do
il ii he chooses 10 do so. He can ride
just as comfortably and get where he
wants to go BY merely paying for one
compartment.
This also applies to the man who is
always anxious to get the best that
money can buy
Volume Not an Asset.
1t is not always advisable to get
the loudspeaker that gives the great
est volume of sound.
Your requirements may be such that
a cheaper loudspeaker giving a good
quality of reproduction with less vol
ume Is all that you need use to enjoy
the many programs being broadcast
daily.
If you get more than you need you
may find that you will have to throw
some of the volume away" by plug
