My shack is a bit cramped too. Currently I have a couple of really inadequate computer speakers sitting atop another rig near the K3/P3 combo. That rig sits atop the RF deck of an ALS-600, which itself sits on top of a KAT500 that's in turn sitting on top of a now-unused MFJ-998. So that's quite a "tech stack" already. Perhaps the advent of the SP3 will give me a reason to rearrange all that stuff so that I can have a good speaker (or two :)). Come to think of it, replacing the ALS-600 with a KPA500 would free up a bit of space as well and improve aesthetics at the same time. Wayne, you may have just engineered another Elecraft tipping point. 73, Tyler, KC2LST

The very idea of hiding it away in an SP3 though is just wrong. Of course, you would never do that — would you? 73, phil, K7PEH > On Sep 12, 2015, at 11:09 AM, Wayne Burdick <n...@elecraft.com> wrote: > > Phil, > > If you ever decide to seriously downsize, you can mount a KX3 inside an SP3. > > Wayne > N6KR > > > On Sep 12, 2015, at 11:05 AM, Phil Hystad <phys...@mac.com> wrote: > >> The idea of producing a matching speaker is inevitable given the history of >> matching speakers (Note: obviously the idea of “matching” has different >> interpretations by different vendors)…. >> >> ...But, unfortunately, I have no plans to buy one because I have no room for >> its matchability to be useful as >> my current K-line sits in a nice line up: K3, P3, KPA500 and there is no >> more room for another >> side-by-side box.
