[Elecraft] KX-3 Powered speaker suggestions?

[Eric Norris]

For simple, small, portable-friendly speakers, I used various models of
iHome speakers (I used to carry a pair for emergencies when I gave a lot of
presentations, and they would actually fill a room albeit at a whisper
level.  The "emergencies" became so frequent I began lugging my small bass
amp).  Later, I switched to an AlexMic, which, although more expensive, has
beacoup audio power AND saves room cuz it's also a MIC.  Also rechargeable.
