   No, the connector doesn't make replacing the speaker   
   inconvenient, rather the multiple unique functions   
   that speaker provides (controls for fader, master   
   volume, and on-off) makes replacing that speaker   
   impossible, except from the manufacturer.  The   
   connector is irrelevant other than the fact that it   
   makes connecting the necessarily unique replacement   
   easier.
