Lee,
Yes, TRX is nice to listen to.
I cannot use headphones easily with my hearing aids, so I purchased a
set of reasonable quality computer speakers at Staples (priced at about
$25). I use them placed so they fire in the direction of my ears from
close range. The RX EQ can be used to tailor the response to more like
communications quality if desired, but I just leave it wide open most of
the time.
I also have a full stereo system here in the shack with an 8 channel
Behringer mixer to play music sourced by either the computer, FM tuner
and tape player, and I also have a position that I can mix in the K3
audio too, so I can enjoy full fidelity stereo from the K3 should I want
to do some SWLing (but I usually don't do that). The connections
between the K3 EXT SPKR output and the computer speakers or the mixer is
handled by a small homebrew switching box, but it works for me.
If you want comunications quality, use communications type speakers, but
if you want wide range audio, use something that approaches a good
stereo system on the K3 - either of those choices and anything in
between can be easily implemented since the K3 has adequate audio power
reserve to handle all but the low efficiency High Fidelity type speakers.

I have been playing with the AFX mode here and it is very good with head phones. I really like the spatial context. I am now trying a pair of old computer speakers...must be more than 10 years old from Creative Labs. Seem to sound OK, but I am curious as to what you are using for speaker(s) with the K3?
I am not going to plunk down change for a large speaker system, but I would
like to know what others are using if anything at all.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is
Common Sense divine?
