Hi Folks, I've been trying out a couple external speaker ideas for some various Elecraft products; both ideas save some desk space and so might be considered where space is at a premium. One uses the Dell soundbar AX-510. This unit mounts to the bottom of most recent Dell computer monitors; many of these monitors have a jack for soundbar power, or a wallwart-type supply can be used. These speakers have an integrated 5 watt amplifier with volume control on the side, and can be used in conjunction with the computer sound card, or just used with external audio input (line out from the K3 for example). The second soundbar option uses a Sharp CP-USB50, which is a USB-type speaker, so this would need to be used by running Elecraft audio into the computer and listening via the soundcard. Only a USB connection for the soundbar is needed. The Sharp unit fits and looks very nice on top of the K3. The Dell option might be a good choice for something like the KX1. A couple photos showing the Dell soundbar mounted on my Dell monitor, and the Sharp soundbar atop the K3: http://home.comcast.net/~ed.goss/K3Speaker/page_01.htm
