One last comment - good distortion free speakers make listening to CW even more pleasant for me. I cannot use headphones witout removing my hearing aids, so I use speakers most of the time. I can sy for certain that "communications quality" speakers are quite irritating for me. even on CW - the distortion becomes irritating after a period of time - even if it is not immediately apparent. I will stick with my wideer range speakers, thank you.
