KX3 low volume

Elecraft mailing list
I know I've seen recommendations for small powered speakers but I can't find them.  Can someone please recommend a small, powered speaker for the KX3 or point me to the threads where they were discussed?  Thanks.

If small is not the major consideration, and if you are running with the
KXPA100 and have problems with RF pickup in your speakers, try the West
Mountain Radio ComSpeakers - they are shielded.  I have never had RF
'howls" from those speakers, but then I run a maximum of 100 watts.
