[Elecraft] Seeking external speaker recommendations

[Don Wilhelm]

  George,

Scour the second-hand stores and pawn shops in your area for some 
efficient bookshelf stereo speakers with good fidelity.  I found a pair 
of RS Optimus speakers a while back and am enjoying using them with my 
K3.  It is difficult to find reasonably priced, small, unamplified 
speakers these days, but they used to be plentiful.  Try to steer clear 
of the computer type amplified speakers.  While they will work, they are 
often affected by RF and can set off a nasty noise when you transmit.
You can find bookshelf speakers new at audio stores and places like Best 
Buy, but they are not inexpensive.
