Speakers are not a problem. There's plenty of high quality speakers
available in my bone pile.

My problem is solenoids. Although there's plenty of solenoid coils in
the bone pile, there's nary a solenoid en total. :(

At any rate, a solenoid's the way to go. Because it also "warms up" the
timbre.

Thank you,
