Ron, If you think those TenTec speakers sound good, you will be in for an even better 'listening experience' if you put a pair of low to medium grade stereo speakers on the K3. I found a pair of RS Optimus XTS-40 speakers in a used 'everything' store for $5 each, but since everything in the store was 50% off, I got a bargain. Yes, they have only 4 inch drivers, but the voice coil is relatively large with a long throw and the edge of the speakers is that flexible stuff. I would not use them as main speakers and call it a good stereo system, but they sound great on the K3 and are black simulated wood which blends with the K3 cabinet quite well.
What am I saying (you might ask)? - Look around the secondhand stores or pawn shops in your area for some small consumer grade "Hi-Fi" bookshelf speakers at a good price and try them on the K3 - you will like them. Unless of course, you enjoy the sound of a speaker rattling a metal box - like most of the "rig matching" loudspeakers do. One *could* buy new, but we hams are 'prudent spenders' and always looking for a bargain when it comes to ham radio. 73, Don W3FPR Ron Gould wrote: > I have connected two Ten Tec 307B speakers to my K3 and am running it in > stereo and with AFX on.
