?Rick - There are definite advantages to stereo speakers, as the K3 can produce stereo audio in several configurations. Amplified speakers can suffer from RF interference - I use Apple amplified speakers and had to open them up to do a lot of bypassing. The K3's audio output can easily drive stereo speakers that are designed for low-level audio amps.
The audio circuits remove any digital artifacts as they are inherently low bandwidth. Some DSP circuits produce distorted audio; any distorted audio would be tiring to listen to. You will find settings on the K3 that please your ear, I'm sure. No modern radio will sound like an NC-125, KM1, or any of the very old tube radios. That's because modern radios have no hum. (!)
