I bite my tongue on this, but I wanted a matching speaker for my K3-Line
back when I first go it. So - to my shop I went. The box was a size
match for the P3 with a PHONE plug installed. I used 1/8 and 1/4
plywoods for some of it and 1" pine for the bottom. I installed a Bose
speaker found on eBay (very heavy magnet). The box was not filled with
any deadening material, as it was constructed of wood. The back was
sealed - with a single 1" hole on the rear. Carefully finished (lots of
hand sanding, filling, and several coats of black stain and flat
varnish) and carefully labeled, the design looked perfect on the desk
with the K3-Line. Performance was great - best sounding external speaker
I ever used. Didn't cost much either - but, many many hours invested in
building it. Kind of makes the new speaker from Elecraft look much
better than building one.
Do I use my speaker now? No. I gave it away and now use Behringer MS40
powered speakers. No design match, much bigger and heavier, two stereo
inputs, built-in equalizer, and better sounding. Cost is comparable with
the new Elecraft speaker. AFX rag chew sounds super on them.
It is all about choices.
