Don, Did you buy the requisite monster cable and gold connectors? If
not try it again. Your Vanderstien speakers will sound better and you
won't be wasting those precious audio watts with skinny speaker wire.
Note to all: Please don't email me pro or con in re monster cable and
gold
Kevin,
Not Monster Cable, but a good large conductor flexible speaker cable
just the same. As much as those cables are over-hyped, there is still a
need to carry a large current for the power levels that some of the low
frequency notes can produce - yes, the Vandersteins will go down to 20
I did the same as Don, but with CD players and power amps. I figured
they were all the same and the high priced stuff was just over priced.
Then I did something dangerous. I actually listened to good gear and
compared it head to head with the great gear. I found out in a hurry
that I was dead
Tongue out of cheek... Having been the owner of several fine Vandersteen
(note correct spelling for those doing Google searches) speaker systems, I can
recommend Don's suggestion. However, depending on your HF radio, be prepared
for some strange sounds. High-end audio equipment will reveal

And don't be suprised that the results show that nobody can agree on a
single speaker which sounds best.
Since tastes (and hearing abilities) vary so much, recommendations on a
good speaker system must be taken with a grain of salt.
Ditto on adjustment of TX audio. You are at the mercy of

Listen to an SX-101 with the 12 inch Hallicrafters matching spkr.
Listen to a Collins 75A-4 with its matching speaker.
Otherwise, 3 inch tin is tin and the laws of physics still apply.

On my K3, I've been using Midland Communication speakers. These speakers are
like the Motorola speakers N0SS recommends. I have two so I can use the AFX
feature of the radio.
I tried many speakers over the last several months. Various computer speakers
in all different types of variations.
I have a Sounds Sweet, it's bigger and uglier. :)

Charles and All
I found a pair of model 970A KLH speakers at Sears. They were $22.97 plus tax
for the pair. Each enclosure has three speakers. These are nice sounding,
good looking and are black matching the K3. These are 3 - way bookshelf black
textured plastic speakers. Power: use with 5 - 40 watt

I have a Sounds Sweet speaker also...does a nice job although somewhat
large. I think I paid wither $99 or $110 a while back after it was

in QST. I see it is at $160 now..not worth that much $ though, IMHO.
Can't see the point in paying all that when
