[Elecraft] K3 Speaker, Season finale

[Doug Turnbull]

Friends,
A good point regarding these speakers is that Radio Shack sells similar
speakers sometimes labeled KLH and more recently labeled Auvio for about
$40.   You would hardly expect Elecraft to be able to distribute as good a
speaker pair for such a price.

Similarly power supplies are readily available from OEM sources and
available for much less that ham radio manufacturers are able to retail them
at.

The KLH970 are a fairly decent value ...  Overstock.com is showing
the KLH970 at $30/pair (factory refurbished).   I've used a similar
pair of Sony B1000 bookshelf speakers (about $50 for the pair at the
time) without any complaints.
