I have a few of those "cube" speakers left over from my mad days. So, I
picked up an el cheapo rar shack stereo amp and voila, Rcvr A on left
channel, Rcvr B on right channel.
No RF problems yet.
Those who are left handed may consider reversing that !!

You WILL experience RF getting into them on the upper bands. They sound good and function well on the
lower bands (75 & 160) but as you move up to the higher bands...key that mike and begin to
transmit, you will hear it getting into those speakers. This happens with most amplified "computer
speakers" and or surround sound type speakers. I've had Bose speakers connected to my K3 for
several years now and I either switch radios (I have 3 to choose from) that use different speakers or I
bypass the Bose speakers (shut them off completely with the "master switch" on the subwoofer)
and use headphones on the upper bands if I stay with the K3. It's the speakers and not the K3, they
(the speakers) are not shielded. You will need to switch (power) off the speaker system completely to
avoid the RF issue. I've noticed RF getting into them even when they weren't being used unless that
master switch is off and the speakers are no longer being powered. I do have a couple of amps that make
t
he problem worse but I notice it even with only 100w output.
