Best powered speaker for KX3

marvwheeler
Afternoon:

 

I hav3e a hearing deficit and the audio out of the speaker on the KX3 leaves
a bit to be desired when turned up to where I can hear the received signal.
I am looking for a powered speaker for predominately CW reception.

 

Thanks for letting me poll your experiences.

I use a set of Bose Companion 2 Series III.  Not the cheapest but certainly
not the most expensive.  Don't forget to consider accurate phase
reproduction - these Bose powered speakers seem to do a very good job of
maintaining the phase relationships of the Elecraft output such that the
audio effects (AFX) work very well.  Easy to listen to for casual CW
operating.

Marv,

I can recommend the West Mountain COMspkr.  This is a pair of speakers
for the stereo effects and dual receive and they are RF proof since they
are shielded.

Not very good for listening to music IMHO (I tried them as computer
speakers), but quite good for communications.
