Bruce, I am using and happy with a pair of Radio Shack Optimus XTS25 bookshelf speakers; I think this model is discontinued. I would think most bookshelf speakers would be good. My particular model is 8 ohms designed for 10 watts rms up to 20 watts max and I have room filling sound if I choose, it has a single 4-inch speaker and stands 6 1/2 inches tall. I normally run the AF gain at the 9 o-clock position.
There are a lot of speakers out there that are specified for 100 watts or more. I haven't tried one but I would be worried about sufficient audio level being driven by the low wattage K3. Most PC speakers are low wattage. eham has a section reviewing speakers for communication use. http://www.eham.net/reviews/products/29 Mike Scott - AE6WA Tarzana, CA (DM04 / near LA) K3-100 #508/ KX1 #1311 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 3 May 2008 21:05:52 -0500 From: "Bruce Osterberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Elecraft] Perfect K3 Speaker To: "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Good Evening: If I was to add an external speaker to the K3 what would it be, looking for suggestions as Dayton is just around the corner. 73 Bruce N9BX K3 # 775 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
