In Reply to: Loudspeaker is still used but I miss squawker the most posted by Kloss on July 22, 2012 at 07:57:16:
I've read old articles using "squawker" but never actually heard anyone say it. I've heard more than a few speakers it applied to though!And then there's the issue of a hi-fi system being referred to as a "stereo". I grew up with the term "stereo", but have since changed to calling it a "hi-fi". Especially when I discovered that I generally preferred the sound of many amps and speakers of the hi-fi era to the latter stereo (i.e.: solid state and inefficient speaker) era.
