[Elecraft] [KX3] New Product: SPX3 External Speaker

[Robert Morris]

I just found the message at the bottom from Bob N3MNT in the online 
archive. I don't know why it wasn't emailed to me. Here's my response:

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your inquiry.

The first prototype, though fully functional, is a proof of concept, and 
far from the final product. I'm making changes to the amplifier and 
enclosure which will alter the sound of the speaker. Also, the speaker 
driver may change. So, it's premature to make judgements of its sound 
quality right now. Furthermore, listening to recordings of audio 
equipment leaves a lot to be desired. After all, you wouldn't be 
listening to the SPX3 itself, but to what was picked up by the 
microphone and recording equipment I would have available, then played 
back on whatever computer, audio gear, and speakers or headphone you 
have on hand. Not only that, what sounds best to you may be different 
than what sounds best to someone standing next to you. It would be best 
to hear the final product in person.

My endeavor is to create a product that sounds as good as possible to 
most listeners within the compromises necessary to get all the features 
folks most want in a very small, crowded enclosure and keep the price 
reasonable for what folks will be purchasing. Then, improve it as users 
provide feedback from how they choose to use it.

Thanks and 73,
Robert (AG6ZZ)
