[RFI] RFI Resistant (and high quality) Computer Speakers???

[Kelly Johnson]

I don't care about VHF/UHF RFI.  I only care about HF.  What's my
budget?  I don't know.  $200 maybe?  BTW, I also don't mind making
them "RFI Resistant" with ferrites either.  I had to do that with my
sub-woofer which would "thump" whenever I keyed up on 80 meters until
I added a single toroid.
