[Elecraft] [K3] A speaker for the K3

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

I don't know of any Optimus speakers that are 45 inches deep.

Several different sizes of Optimus & Radio Shack branded speakers were 
produced over the years that all sound great.  Specifically the two sized 
metal cased units I have are 6½ X 4 X 4 and 7 X 4½ X 4¼.   These both at two 
way speakers having a small tweeter.  The older wooden cased one doesn't 
have a tweeter but is similar in size.

I'm not sure if they're still in production though.

Are you talking about the speakers that are about 4 inches wide about 7 
inches long and about 45 inches deep and I have the screw on bracket? The 
ones I am talking about are not powered but they do some excellent for their 
size
