Over the years, I have noticed a number of requests for recommendations for speakers that work well with the K2 and K3 radios.
Having tried and, for various reasons, returned a number of speakers, I would like to recommend the Bose Companion 2 PC speakers for use with Elecraft radios. For the price of a good pair of earphones (about $90), these amplified speakers have two audio inputs allowing them to be connected to both your PC and your radio simultaneously -- i.e. no switches are needed, and the inputs are added. The speakers are sufficiently well shielded so as not to be bothered by RF from the radio, and there are no annoying audio resonances while listening to either CW tones or violin concertos. When properly positioned on either side of the operating position, the speakers preserve the stereo effect of wearing earphones while operating split with the dual receivers of the K3. I find the audio volume and quality more than adequate for both amateur radio and casual music listening.
The speakers are available directly from Bose or through standard retail channels such as Amazon.
