Over the past years, there seems to be a trend to smaller amps/speakers like the PJB, Trace-Elliott, and other offerings. Maybe there could be a market for an amp/speaker using speakers from vintage transistor radios which where 2" or 2 1/4" in diameter like this: 2 NOS Transistor Radio Speaker Japan 2" 8 ohm @ 0.1 W HOKUTONE 50P-04 | eBay

It would be vintage so you know folks would like it. About 10 of those with a 1W amp would be pretty portable (note the power handling).

If you would like more power capability about 3,000 of them would handle an SVT. Whadda ya think? Looking for funding opportunities. :D

Some of us still like to have some real tone in the sound of our instruments. ;)

Well, I have one of these. It doesn't work well with a bass through the tiny speaker. It can drive a big speaker cabinet.
