The K3 can sound really good if one uses external speakers on the
K3/K3S. If you do not have high quality (Hi-Fi) speakers that you can
use with the K3/K3S, then the matching SP3 speakers are an excellent choice.
I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair of Radio Shack Minimus speakers
at a 2nd hand store for $5.00 each - they do very well in my shack.
The speakers that will produce all the audio nuances that are possible
are those with a wide range response, so Hi-Fi speakers qualify for that
aspect. Others with a restricted audio range such as those with DSP
will limit the full range audio available from the K3/K3S.
In other words, the audio response of the radio should be clearly
reproduced by the speakers. The response by the small internal speaker
is necessarily limited, but good wide range external speaker will
deliver the sound that the radio is capable of.

Yes, well most of those are good sounding and......are larger than our radios
on our desks today. Small speakers can be expected to produce small sound.
Small as in acoustic output and limited frequency response. Just laws of
Physics. Don't expect to modify those laws.

A number of years ago, I inherited an SX-28 and the big bass reflex speaker with the cut-out
"h" in the center. It gave new meaning to the term "armchair copy."

Don, you make me laugh. Internal speakers are a joke - never heard one, since
the 50s when I got started in radio, worth listening to. Why they don't just
leave it at a SPKR jack and a PHONES jack is beyond me.
