[Elecraft] Speakers - Optimal Frequency Range?

[Doug Person]

I definitely agree with using good quality headphones for optimal 
listening.  But, headphones are a different psycho-acoustical experience 
than a speaker system. Personally, I prefer to listen to a speaker 
system.  Headphones VS: Speaker system will be different for everyone. 
But, if you prefer speakers, i recommend decent quality components to 
give you the best your "K" brand transceiver can deliver.
