I feed my K3 speaker output direct to an old ten-inch National Radio
speaker, which simply mounted in a metal speaker box and open on the
back. Like the sound better than new modern speakers (amplified or not).
But I confess to running Western Mountain COMspkr's with my KX3 or my
900-MHz surplus MOT Spectra. I set the tone (Hi Cut) knob to treble
on the COMspkr's.
Never had a Collin's radio. The 75A4 was new when I began ham radio*
and the Engineering Dept. at MSU had the newest s-line stuff in
1960's. I operated the VHF transceiver (KWM-2?) a little bit.

*my first receiver was a Knight Ocean Hopper (kit) and then a
HQ100C. After college it was a Clegg Interceptor-B with HF convertor.
Put a quality 25 W (per channel) amplifier and pair of 8" diameter
speakers on the K3 and I suspect one would be hard put to distinguish
between the S-line receiver and K3 receiver in terms of tonal quality
and distortion. The K3 would certainly have fewer RF/IF distortion
products.
