K3: Speakers

[dhhdeh]

Hi All.

I use a pair or Optimus/Minimus/Realistic/RCA 7 or 77 bookshelf
speakers. There were several names over the years for the same speakers.

A mainstay in the Radio  Shack catalog for many years they are now long
since discontinued but excellent examples of them are regularly appear
on e-Bay for low cost.

Their fidelity and power are remarkable and make them a perfect match to
the K3's audio characteristics especially in AFX mode.

check out:  http://www.angelfire.com/vt/audio/minimus.html   or
                 
http://www.parts-express.com/projectshowcase/kuzimus77/kuzimus77.html

I have both sizes and the smaller ones are actually better in many
regards than the bigger ones.

My $.02   YMMV

I use a set of small Pyle speakers that I bought from buy.com for around
$29 the pair.  They sound great and have very good power handling for
their size.  Model PCB4BK.  I also have the Radio Shack speaker
mentioned by others as well as some Minimus 0.5 Radio Shack speakers
that sound great and are wonderfully efficient.
