[Elecraft] Speakers for K3
I purchased a 4ohm/8 ohm 250w audio amp, then two 6x9 4ohm 200w speakers and 6x9 enclosed car stereo kicker speaker cabinets. I took a stereo 1/8 to dual (R/L) RCA connectors to connect the radio to the amp. Then speaker wire to the kicker boxes/speakers. I keep the audio low when I turned on the radio and amp, then raise the audio on the radio a bit and then the amp a bit. I have great audio I can hear DX from anywhere in the house. With the AM filter and AM station selected, it is like being in the broadcast studio. The little audio amp also works with my smartphone/laptop with a appropriate stereo cable, too Parts where all off of Amazon. You can make smaller speakers that take up less space, but I have the room for the larger speakers.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Speakers for K3
Most are satisfied with small speakers and some like the big 8-12 ones that seem to cut some of the high frequency hiss. It's not one size fits all and even a particular speaker size is not a one size fits all. I can see where a speaker enclosure that matches would be desirable for a lot of folks where you could install your preferred speaker. Look at how many $200 speakers with filters have been sold by the big3 to match their radios. I've used small ones, a kenwood one and currently using an old classroom public address speaker. It seems the large ones are hard to find around here. I've also finally got rid of my hiss/roar/frying bacon with the addition of a external equalizer and mainly pushing the 3.5 slider of the unit to -4 to -6db. (3.2 on k3 @-16). RFI was a bit of a problem for my close antenna. 73 Mike R Play me some fiddle, but no stinkin' violin!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Speakers for K3
I use 2 of the Yeasu MLS100 speakers thru a stereo adapter into the back speaker jack of the K3. They are small, black and I think nice looking in the K Line equipped shack, Main receiver on the left, sub receiver on the right or both on with sub receiver off. Work very well in my opinion, and only $49.00 each at AES...
