Joe, et al: Awfully expensive, but, hey, they match the K-Line...
This is sort of like those beautifully machined knob sets... $250 for a VFO knob that probably cost less than $20 to make!
But then, yes, Im guilty of accessorizing as well... I had my callsign engraved on my K3's display window and it cost me $25, so I wont throw Bencher Paddles in a glass Shack :)
I wish Phonema the best of luck... And I dont argue that its a lovingly crafted accessory whose designer is very proud of. However, for my money, I will continue to listen through my very nice sounding Yamaha YST-M101 powered speakers and my well worn Yamaha CM500 headset.
Yes, the speakers dont match, but the do sound good, and dont pick up RF. And that is the beauty of a free market!

Although a case that approximates the K-line look is nice, one can achieve the same performance in 3" or 4" cube speakers from several sources for between $20 and $50 *per pair* (new) or get an even wider response from "two way" bookshelf speakers for around $70 - $80. 73, ...
