[Elecraft] u want nice audio?

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

In addition to the KLH 970A at Sears (still available on-line 
at $29.99), Sony SS-B1000 (pair) is often available at Radio 
Shack or Best Buy in the same price range.  Best Buy also has 
a pair of Insignia brand speakers that appear to be identical 
to the KLH 970A in the under $30 range. 

The small "bookshelf" style speakers are every bit as good as 
the much more expensive "specialty" speakers.
