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

[Walter Underwood]

I use this $9 stereo audio amp. It runs from a 9-18 V supply and puts out 15 W per channel.

I have some cheap Pyle speakers, but you might look for some Radio Shack Optimus Pro-X44AV speakers on eBay. Those are small, decent shielded speakers from the past.

I wrote up my KX3 amp/speaker set up on my blog.

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?
