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

[Edward Dickinson, III]

The Realistic Minimus-7 Speakers look good aside the K3.  They are two-way,
with cast metal enclosures and were available in black and perhaps white.
When set on their side, rather than bottom they are the same height as the
K3.  8 Ohm, 40 Watt.  Each speaker is 4 1/2" wide by 7 1/8" high x ~4 1/4"
deep.  They sound good on an external amp.  

Further, if you want an external amp, the Realistic STA-19 AM/FM Stereo
Personal Receiver is a good bet.  Not too big.  It's width is about 1/4"
less than that of the K3 and height is about 2 5/8".  When the Minimus-7
Speakers are set on their bottoms aside a K3 with an STA-19 on top, they are
a near match in height.  That makes for a nice looking and decent sounding
setup.

The STA-19 with Minimus-7s was a nice set from Radio Shack/Realistic...some
20 years ago.  The speakers were also available without the receiver.  The
STA-19 has proven reliable.

The basic look of the Minimus-7s were used for quite a few similar speakers
from RS.  I seem to recall there were differences in the sound quality
between different models.

I am currently running my STA-19 driving a pair of Dukane 8" PA speaker in
baffles.  I may switch to the other as space needs change.
