Bruce, I just ordered a set of 3 speakers on Ebay - They are Cobra HG-S100 - I am hoping That they will be good - My K3 is only 4" high - these are 5 inches high and have a 4" speaker. I will let everyone know how it turns out and compare them to my current Kenwood SP31. The HG-S100 look good in the pics. Price was right at 41.50 or so for all 3 shipped to my door! They offered HG-S300 and HG-S500 with some kind of noise reduction. I figure I'll let the K3 handle that - for that price I can find something to go in the 3 cases if I don't like the sound!
