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 connectors. I already know the only reason Radio Shack stays in
business is by selling the stuff to audiofool's.

If you want really, really good audio from the K3, go to your
audiophile emporium and get a pair of Vanderstien speakers (or other
comparable high fidelity speakers) and an audio amplifier suitable for
driving them. Connect the amplifier input to the K3 output - of
course, there may be some impedance/drive level interfacing to be
done, but the K3 will really sound full range on those speakers.
Yes, I know those speakers are floor standing, and are pricy and heavy
as well as being low efficiency, but if you really want to hear the
true sound of the K3, that is the way to go. The sound of those
computer speakers will pale in comparison.
Yes, I tried it once just to see how it would sound, but that is not
my normal hamshack setup - compromises must be made, each to his own.
My Vandesteins are back in the home theater system where they belong -
but do try it if you want to convince yourself how good the K3 (or any
radio) can sound.
