All, The Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers came highly recommended. Unfortunately they are not available new anymore although you may find them at a flea. As I remember, they are not too efficient.
The other 2 speakers that are efficient are the Heath SB-600 and the Drake MS-4. Both sound very good. 73 Gene K1NR On Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:33:45 -0600 "Dick Williams" <[email protected]> wrote: > Don, > > On a "tip" from one of the guys working in the Elecraft > booth at Dayton a > couple of years ago, I purchased a pair of Insignia > speakers at Best Buy.
