Hi. I'm wondering how the speaker sounds on this model. I currently own the dm720 and also had the lsp2 for a short time which I returned. The one thing I really don't like on many of the Olympus recorders is that they use really tiny and tinny sounding speakers with little volume. I think they can and should do better. How would you describe the sound characteristics of the builtin speaker of the lsp4? Amazon currently has this model for $180 with free prime shipping.

I've no idea how similar or different these machines are. I did think about purchasing the LS-P2 as Ferguson Enterprises had it on sale. I originally wanted to purchase a LS-14 but that model is now discontinued as we all know. A friend advised me of a local Olympus dealer who he thought had the LS-14 in stock as it was listed on the web page. Unfortunately that web page listing was out of date so the dealer asked me if I'd like to purchase the LS-P4 which - according to Olympus Australia - is the replacement model for the LS-14. One can only hope that there are improvements at the very least with the LS-P4 over the LS-p2. One thing I did notice which is interesting, if you have a Bluetooth speaker connected to the LS-P4 and you have the recorder set to record using FLAC then the recorder will change to PCM mode for recording for whatever reason but no need to panic as the LS-P4 does indeed warn you that the mode has changed when you go into "Record Standby" mode.
