[Elecraft] OT: Need Recommendations for Powered Speaker for KX3 (WU6R)

[Michael Blake]

My Bose Color Soundlink speaker works really well with my KX3.  No distortion, no RF even when driving the KPA500 with the KX3.

I connected a cheap set of powered pc speakers to the KX3 but I hear distortion through the powered speakers when transmitting with the KX3 and KPA-100 connected to a KPA-500. Has anyone found a high quality powered speaker to connect to the KX3 that doesn’t distort when transmitting?
