Best speaker for TTS sound

[Midnight-Freight]

I have a Bachmann class 66 with a Hornby tts chip in it. At the time of buying I also bought an I phone speaker as an upgrade on the one Hornby supply. I know the tts sounds aren't supposed to be premium but the 66 isn't too bad I don't think. I don't need more volume, and bass isn't the issue as they aren't really a bassy engine sound. Just thought there might be better options out there now as this was a few years ago.

Plenty of options on Roads and Rails page. I used a megabass square speaker and the class 66 chip in a Hornby 59 as there was no TTS for that model.

Any decent 8Ohms speaker will do, but never use 4 Ohms ones.

 

On Railroad Diesel locos there is loads of space inside the models, so these are good:

But on the normal Hornby Range where space is more restricted, these are ideal:

The TTS Decoders due to there old design have a restrictive 8Ohms output, but with some of these modern speaker designs, they can be improved dramatically.
