Ditto on the West Mountain Radio COMspkr. Ordered a pair after reading reviews here on the forum and after installation, it took about 5 seconds to hear the difference over my computer speakers. My other speakers had RFI on certain bands, but these have no RFI on all the HF bands with the KPA500

99.9% of all powered speakers suffer from RFI, including those from pro audio companies. It's good to hear that these do not. The odd thing is that the COMSpkr appears to be the same device as many of the generic computer speakers *except* the bypass/RFI suppression parts included on the chip
