[Elecraft] What are you guys using for external speakers?

[Frank Ross W4NHJ]

If you are only using one speaker on your K3, you are missing out.  The K3 
sounds better with two speakers and the SPKRS menu set to two.  Even normal 
(non AFX) audio sounds better with two speakers. I like AFX set to Bin, but 
delay as also great.  Try it, I think you will like it.

I had two old 4 1/2" speakers I picked up at a yard sale.  They had good 
size magnets so I gave them a try.  They sounded OK.  I then built two 
speaker cabinets out of 3/4" MDF.  I made the outside dimensions approx. 6 
1/2" x 6 1/2" x 10" deep, the same depth as the K3.  I painted them satin 
black to match the K3.  The speakers sounded much better in the cabinets and 
they look good also.  Saved $200 and I think they sound better then the 
Japanese speakers in the metal cabinets.
