It's also a customer request to not add a speaker and that's a standoff.

It could be small and still sound good. IIt could be on the back of
the unit. It might make the unit a bit larger depending on design,
but it would be hugely worth it and this is no opinion. It may well
be a bad idea, but it is a customer request.

about that. The speaker idea is a bad one.
