If memory serves, I tried that. There just didn't seem to be any sweet
spot. I presume we don't ordinarily hear those pops with the speakers
they ship with Doubletalks because they're so cheap and slow to respond.
This is unfortunate, because a quality speaker and amp actually helps
the Doubletalk sound much better. But those pops make using better
reproduction technology untenable.
