If you don't care for amplified speakers, the Pyle 3" Mini Cubes are
excellent. Less than $30 a pair online.

Don, you’re right on about those West Mountain Com Speakers. I’ve had a pair
on my K3S since day one and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
My wife got me a second pair and I use them with my KX2 when I’m operating on
my back deck. Sure makes the KX2’s receiver sound super good.

Since the K3 has stereo output, I suggest you look at the West Mountain Radio
ComSpeakers. They do a good job.
My K3 had 2 Radio Shack mini speakers on it, and the KX3 uses the ComSpeakers.
Great in all respects.

Regardless of radio, my go to is the black Motorola mobile speakers (~5"
square, with mounts). Already shaped for communications audio (chopped lows, peaked
mids and some highs) by design, they sound awesome on the K3 *once you find a
matching output pair* (they can vary in output by several dB). Estate sales, swap
meets and radio shop closures are prime spots to find them; often $10 each (oh heck
yeah, snag it and bag it!).
Also, if you find them, the old Radio Shack speaker cubes (about 2" cubed) have
very clear communication audio and work great in a mobile environment. Before RS
went out of business the price was jacked up to about $60 (from $10) so swap meet
prices may vary.
I (almost) never use any internal speaker since they are not usually more than
a basic add on, or have to be cranked up so much to be useful that they don't
last long (and are mono with dual receivers).
You might check to see what Elecraft offers for speakers to match your radio
esthetics should your budget allow it.
