I too bought the Pyle 3.5 cube speakers to use with my K3 . Now under
$20.00 at Amazon ! I couldn't be happier with the audio both CW and SSB
. Soon I will order a second pair for my 2nd K3

Hi Steve,
I have used a pair of Motorola HSN4018C mobile radio speakers with my K3 for
years, as well as now with my new K3S. They are tailored for
communications-grade voice frequency response. They are black and look great
next to the rig. They are not inexpensive if you order them new, b

That is probably the case here as well... but I guess I just don't run the
volume up very far.

Am I missing something? Why would one want to use an amplified speaker on a
K3 since the radio already has an amplifier? Doing so would seem to invite
distortion and RF pickup. The K3's audio output is supposed to have a 4 ohm
load and computer speakers are probably closer to 1000 ohms. It's almost
I have a pair of Jensen 6 by 9 speakers each one in one of those rectangular
fuzzy speaker enclosures that we used to see in the back window of stereo in
cars. Set on a shelf over the K3, they sound awesome. These are not coaxial,
but the ones with those "whizzer" cones. Great for speech.

Steve,
With audio, you can forget about matching impedance, it is the voltage
that matters. An audio amplifier will operate into a 4 ohm or a 1000
ohm load just fine. With the 4 ohm load, power is required, but for a
1000 ohm load, not much power is necessary.
But more direct to your ques
I will agree that the WMR COMM speakers are good. I tried a pair of BOSE
speakers and they sounded great, but they "thumped" when sending CW on
160meters. The WMR speakers don't "thump" but otherwise sound great.

Ronnie,
There are many newcomers to this list, and I for one do not mind repeating
an answer to something that has been hashed over before. Sorry to hear
Bose Companion 3. Don’t see them listed on the Sam’s site now-maybe Amazon or
eBay.
Here’s more than you ever wanted to know about Bose computer speakers:

I use the Behringer MS40 amplified speakers. RF has never bothered them
(1 kW) and they have two channels of input - so you can use left/right
K3 (each RX) and the other for left/right from your computer.
If you want something a little less expensive, the Creative Inspire T10

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the SP3.
I like mine. It's hard to find any mention of it on the Elecraft web site
however.

Small bookshelf type non amplified speakers. I don't suggest "computer
types" as they are typically amplified. I found some Radio
Shack/Realistic speakers being discontinued as catalog #40-1313. They
work quite nice.

Find yourself a pair of 'bookshelf' speakers normally used for "HiFi
