I ran several 8ohm speakers off my pocket sized cassette recorder without
additional power. Now I can't buy ready made walkman speakers without
batteries. I'm prepared to make my own (housing will stink) but why?

Some "powered (amplified) speakers" can also be used passively.
But, sound level is markedly lower.

The market has shifted to "iPod speakers" which expect higher
efficiency "earbud" reproducers *or* "amplified docks".

You can similarly complain that you can't buy blank Beta video tape or,
better yet, blank *8 track* media!
