[Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

[Mike Markowski]

Following up on Jim w6aim's comment, a friend of mine used to design 
cell phones was amazed at marketing people.  She says the difference in 
memory options, e.g., 16/32/64 GB, had an actual cost difference of 
US$1.  But the marketing group turned it into $100 difference - and 
people pay.  She said the engineering group incorrectly believed no one 
would fall for it!

Regarding radio speakers, I currently use out of production Dell 
computer speakers, left overs from work:

which are great with K3 and also listening to streaming music, youtube, 
etc.  They cost well under $100.  If pair of Elecraft speakers cost 4x 
as much & offer 4x as much (any specs yet?), it's a good deal.  But 
aesthetic value is uniquely personal - which is why such a long thread! 
  For me, Dell will likely be fine.  :-)
