[Elecraft] K3 -- External speaker recommendation

[W2NED]

Over the years, I have noticed a number of requests for recommendations for
speakers that work well with the K2 and K3 radios. 

Having tried and, for various reasons, returned a number of speakers, I
would like to recommend the Bose Companion 2 PC speakers for use with
Elecraft radios. For the price of a good pair of earphones (about $90),
these amplified speakers have two audio inputs allowing them to be connected
to both your PC and your radio simultaneously -- i.e. no switches are
needed, and the inputs are added. The speakers are sufficiently well
shielded so as not to be bothered by RF from the radio, and  there are no
annoying audio resonances while listening to either CW tones or violin
concertos. When properly positioned on either side of the operating
position, the speakers preserve the stereo effect of wearing earphones while
operating split with the dual receivers of the K3. I find the audio volume
and quality more than adequate for both amateur radio and casual music
listening.

The speakers are available directly from Bose or through standard retail
channels such as Amazon.

Regards,
Ned, W2NED
