I used 6" bookshelf speakers for several years with very good results until I got tired of the extra room they took on the desk. About a year ago I picked up a set of Pye PCB3BK 3.5" cube speakers ... a perfect size to set on either side of the "K-Line" ... for about $25 on Amazon.com. Since then, I've picked up several other pairs for my second K3 and other rigs.
I like the PCB3BK because its 90 Hz - 18 KHz response is far more appropriate for "communications". They do not rumble and turn muddy with low frequency noise like the larger bookshelf speakers and/or amplified speaker systems while the high frequency response is more than enough to prevent distortion on the high end. They are efficient enough that the K3's audio amplifier is capable of creating more than 90 dBa sound levels without running into apparent distortion. 73, ...

Ouch! Those complaining do not represent the Ham community at large or this list membership. There is only one "list moderator" and that's Eric at Elecraft. If someone complains about a post here, even off of the reflector, let Eric know. Don gave you a very complete answer. The SP3 sounds great. I also have a pair of 6-inch speakers in "bookshelf" enclosures (dating from the 1970's - one advantage of being an O.T.) that also work FB. 73, Ron AC7AC
