I so agree. What I use are a pair of speakers with a truly flat response all the way from 80 Hz to 22 KHz but extreme overkill...: Mackie HR824 powered Studio monitors. They are perfect to me and extremely flat. I already owned them because I used to do recording. In this vein, if you can find a cheap studio monitor on fleabay or wherever, you will surely love it with your K3s/K3.
