[Elecraft] I need More RX Volume on my K3, has anyone run an external audio amp?

Thank You

The specs say that the SP3's are rated at 15 watts so I should be able to find a small stereo amp

Yes, I have an old SS 15 watt HIFI amp I use to feed a small HIFI speaker under the desk.  Works great and I can fill the room with CLEAN audio.

I have the K3 and a pair of SP3 speakers

When I turn down the RF gain and turn on the NR (to clean up the band noise)  I run out of Audio (too quiet) to hear the weaker signals.

I was curious if anyone is running a small external amp between the K3 and the speakers to help bring up the volume?

Thank you
