Lionel sound units can sound like that... all it takes is a little willing to work.
Case in point:
Heres a basic TMCC Railsounds FT unit that I used as a test bed; since the Tang Band speakers are 4ohm, I needed to compensate. In this case, below, I used the Tang Band in series with a laptop speaker to get the required resistance and the sound was amazing.

wow, that sounds much better than the other speaker alone

I've tried several different setups, and the laptop speakers that you linked were from an old laptop; 2005-ish.

I've created a playlist which includes all the speakers tested, and the frequency analyzer results for each one.

Thanks!
