[Elecraft] Seeking external speaker recommendations

[Eugene Balinski]

All,
 
  The Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers came highly
recommended.  Unfortunately they are not available new
anymore although you may find them at a flea.  As I
remember, they are not too efficient. 

   The other 2 speakers that are efficient are the Heath
SB-600 and the Drake MS-4.    Both sound very good.
