[Elecraft] Phonema Speaker for K3

[Julio César García Mahillo]

I still think the speaker is expensive. We can assume that a part of the cost is for shipping, but the rest is still expensive for a speaker, especially when you think of brand such as Ham Mountain Radio. 
In addition,it is not unfrequent to find companies which afford shipping cost when you order over a concrete amount money. That could attract people to order speakers overseas, just an idea.

Most of my speakers  have been bought in USA, and I am really happy with them, as I said before, the relation quality and price is really fair. And , if in the future , if I had to purchase other speaker I would , quite probably, choose one of these brand , called it brand loyalty.

Anyway, I do not doubt the quality of your speaker is good. I have not tried it. I hope you understand this. 
At last , what we are doing here is discussing prices , comparing brands and tell our experience. That is all.

> You are right, Ted. I am really unhappy that a very important part of the speakers' cost is the shipping part. However, this is the cheapest way of selling them since I am the manufacturer and the distributer at the same time, with no intermediary added costs. The breakdown of the total price shows you how much everything costs.
> The situation does not difer too much in Europe. Shipping price is around 35EUR, meaning that the total price is 165EUR. There is little difference, as you see.
> On the other hand, a US distributer would have a cheaper shipping price, but its own benefit must also be added. In the end, it might be a little bit cheaper.
