I purchased the Sounds Sweet speaker and am quite satisfied with it as the external speaker for my K2.
However, shortly after receiving the speaker, the October 2004 issue of QST came in the mail. This issue had a cover story on building your own high-quality speaker and it looked quite interesting. It did seem to require some minimal (?) woodworking skills but all in all it looked pretty good. This speaker is more geared to the audio frequencies used by hams, with a switchover for music, etc. The Sounds Sweet is really a general purpose speaker. Had I not already purchased the Sounds Sweet speaker, I may have tried the QST speaker. I mention this to anyone who may be turned away by the price tag on the Sounds Sweet. (It cost me almost $130.00 with s/h and NY State sales tax). I didn't price the parts of the QST speaker, but my guess it would less expensive to build. It's my understanding that Elecraft was also considering a speaker and had a few prototypes made up. It's also my understanding that they have decided not to go forward with this -- any insights on this from anyone?
