What differences are there between portable loud speakers and home units?

Talking about multi-way towers. I recently came upon some maybe 70's speakers made in Japan for Realistic. Radio Shack I presume. They are black, have carry handles, metal corner protectors and 1/4" mono jacks. I don't see these jacks on home units ever.

Beyond that, what would you think are any differences in dynamics? They sound clear and big. Kinda blew my Pacific Stereo era 3-ways away. I doubt I can hear much by the way of high frequency anymore but these definitely shove the cymbals out there.

Will be going through an equalizer as soon as I get my stereo project done. I've pulled all the components off the shelf, cleaned things up and serviced the pots and connections. And I'm adding that equalizer.

Funny, over the years I have had a few individual components go south. These include an equalizer, CD player and tape deck (cassette). But my Viet Nam era receiver just keeps on ticking. It puts out a nice sound given what's in the room. I have a newer Harmon Kardon that just doesn't cut it. That'll go in the garage with some Bose bookshelves I have.

I have a ton of old music from vinyl to cassette to CD's. I'm working on getting what I can on drives, thumb and solid state HD.
