My first transistor radio was on 1962 a Kendy 6 transistor pocket set.
At the time my folks had a big Ferguson RG with a very large elliptical speaker. I connected the phone output from the Kendy to the ext speaker socket on the Ferguson and the sound was as far as I remember brilliant. My older brother told me I'd blow up my transistor set which I didn't understand as the Ferguson was switched off, in fact the Kendy died when I dropped it 20 feet.
