Gosh, I have nothing very fancy. I have been quite pleased with a speaker I bought from RadioShack for about $20. It is slightly less than 1 foot high and perhaps 8 inches wide. It carries the brand name RCA on it. It's probably made somewhere in China. However, it does sound pretty good. On CW, I tend to use earphones as I like the closer coupling you can get. I'm sure there are many more "hi-fi" options available but honestly this speaker I have appears to reproduce most of the audio spectrum coming from the K-3.

It may be a TAD larger than some would want by their rig BUT I assure you that the resulting audio to the "Human hard-drive" will be very sweet indeed!!! As I recall the retail price is now $109USD but well worth the investment!!!!!! Though it is a tad larger than most and heavier it's resulting audio output is FANTASTIC!!!
