Stan,
Sorry I wasn't more specific. My two are the original Skytek units ... one
is still wrapped and in the original box.
Trivia: They were made in Ukiah, CA.
Several friends have built them ... mostly horizontal versions. There's
nothing special about the angle beyond esthetics.

Ken, "...two of the original speakers..." means you built them or Bill
built them for you or you mean the "original" Sky-Tec? I've tried it with
the KX2 filter set all the way to 2.8. Also tried it with my KX1 and the
same low volume.
I don't understand this term "padding" but it was suggested to me in a post
on the CW list that "most modern transceiver have headset outputs that are
padded to protect hearing" and I thought that might have something to do
with this low volume.
I really want to experience this phenomenal sound I've heard so much
about!!!

In answer to a list member question ... the speaker is acoustically
resonant and -very- narrow.
I suspect Stan's build and his KX2's filtered output tone are too far apart.
I have two of the original speakers and they are phenomenal!
