New products are always welcome. I look forward to "hearing them" at
maybe one of the next ham fests. I like the fact the SP3 uses an oval
speaker. I've never figured out exactly why, but I find ovals typically
do sound better than rounds, but maybe it seems to be only in my findings.
As a comment, I prefer non-amplified speakers as this avoids the
potential RFI issues when used with the radio. The model that I
mentioned and use has a slight tilt to the bottom which aligns the front
with the K3S with its front elevated by the stand.
I also find the audio system in the K3S to be really nice, specially the
2 channel effect using the AFX feature along with a stereo speaker
configuration. This give a nice wide spatial effect to which I find
very pleasing. Thanks Wayne and company for doing a fine job with the
K3S and its new features.

Hi all,
The K3 or K3S will work with a wide range of speakers, including the ones Bob
(K4TAX) mentioned.
Here are some possible reasons for using an SP3:
- matches the K-Line perfectly, including a rugged fold-up tilt stand
- full stereo A/B source selection, supporting dual-rig and dual-speaker
configurations (or both)
- plenty of room inside the cabinet for built-ins that might improve station
integration
Of course these factors don't apply to everyone. But the good news is that we will no
longer have to say "maybe next year" every time someone asks us to add a
matching speaker to the product line :)
