Here is one thing to keep in mind. The frequency response of the mic inputs are FLAT on the FLEX-5000. Just about every other ham radio transceiver has pre-emphasis engineered into the mic preamp circuit which is probably why the TS-870 sounds a little better than the F5K without any EQing.

Articulation or Bandwidth? Seems like we were all in agreement until this post. I figure there's a balance between the two somewhere. Strangely my extremely articulate Heil PR20 still sounds muddy without extreme EQ settings! On my Flex, yes, not so much on my Kenwood TS-870.
