[Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

[Gary]

Johnny,

It will (as it should) carry the stigma of being a copy from a serial offender and it may indeed be adequate in performance for many, but it would never carry the reputation of quality that comes from being a genuine Elecraft product.

The market will decide how well the SP3 is accepted just as the market will decide on any alternative offerings from other manufacturers.

Some if not many of us will choose the SP3, over any alternative, others will make their own choice.

It's a free world (up to a point)   I choose Elecraft.

I borrowed 2cents to throw in here. Our dollar has sunk so low I need a submarine to find  it.

With my due respect to intellectual right, I would feel this price tag will trigger a Chinese variant at 1/3 price with similar appearance but unknown quality.

I have to admit that I, too, find $179 for a passive speaker in a metal 
cabinet shockingly expensive.  I was expecting $99.  The price just gets 
a shrug and an "Oh well.." from me.  Not a chance I would spend that 
kind of money on a speaker just because it matches the K-Line.
