At the risk of resurrecting the "Speakers" thread, my experience is that I've never been able to make any full range speaker, powered or otherwise, sound acceptable on any amateur rig. No matter what I try, I keep returning to my trusty pair of unpowered Motorola 2 way radio speakers. The Moto guys knew what they were doing when they wrote the specs for those.
Just for clarification, I was making an observation, not complaining, about the power transient. Just like with any number of cheap stereo amps I had before I got my good ones, I make it a practice to turn the amp off/down before powering the K3 on or off. Works for me. 73...
