I'd be interested in an efficient forward facing speaker in a matching cabinet, say, P3 size. Or just a matching cabinet; I guess many of us could do the rest !

I use a pair of old RS Optimus speakers that I picked up at a thrift shop for a bargain - they make the K3 sound sweet - YMMV. IMHO, the internal speaker "sucks", and is to be used only when there are no other alternatives. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/17/2011 10:50 PM, [email protected] wrote: > We were at the plumbing supply today and picked up a 2 inch PVC 90 degree elbow > coupler. > > A disc was cut from some no skid shelf liner.
