Good sounding speakers need good cabinets - usually big enough to support the speaker and it's bass response. They used to sell matching speakers for this reason, but they didn't sell enough of them to justify the cost. In either case - headphones are superior but tiring and large speakers challenge the need for smaller stations, the cheap small speakers allowed portability and economy. Bottom line, just consider the cheapy a freeby and get the speaker in a box to go with the big rig. BTW ever try listening to an FT-100? Whew!! I like the K2 and it's good speaker even if the space is cramped. AL WA6VNN
