[Elecraft] External speakers for K3?

[Bill Maddock]

Bruce,

I just ordered a set of 3 speakers on Ebay - They are Cobra
HG-S100 - I am hoping That they will be good - My K3 is only 4"
high - these are 5 inches high and have a 4" speaker. I will
let everyone know how it turns out and compare them to my
current Kenwood SP31. The HG-S100 look good in the pics. 
Price was right at 41.50 or so for all 3 shipped to my door!
They offered HG-S300 and HG-S500 with some kind of noise reduction.
I figure I'll let the K3 handle that - for that price I can find
something to go in the 3 cases if I don't like the sound!

73 de Bill  N4ZI  K3's #1059 & #2914
