[Elecraft] K3 speaker reflector

[John Lemay]

I'd be interested in an efficient forward facing speaker in a matching
cabinet, say, P3 size. Or just a matching cabinet; I guess many of us could
do the rest !

  Mike,

That is creative and very nice, but a pair of high efficiency 
(unamplified) speakers will beat that "all hollow" while allowing the 
use of AFX.  I use a pair of old RS Optimus speakers that I picked up at 
a thrift shop for a bargain - they make the K3 sound sweet - YMMV.  
IMHO, the internal speaker "sucks", and is to be used only when there 
are no other alternatives.

73,
