Any external speaker should sound better than the internal speaker. In the old days radios were designed with large speakers pointing forwards towards the users earholes. Nowadays they fit tiny speakers anywhere they can. Or is that just a ploy to get owners to buy? overpriced extension speakers.
I use a bookshelf speaker, that is around the same size as 847, it was one of two off Ebay at ?25 the pair.?
If I was really worried, I would put a Yaesu sticker on it.

Got everything fixed up yesterday even made a few 6m contacts on the A3S! Now I need to build a 6m beam.
Up first is the volume control mod, not the resistor one. That is annoying not being able to turn the volume down to a comfortable level :(
