Over on qth.com in the forums area (the "Talk" sub-forum) is a discussion 
called "A sad thing happened 
on the way to a more perfect receiver."  Some interesting topics came up in the 
discussion, such 
as 
- Are DSP based receivers fatiguing to listen to for long periods of time?
- The benefits of using external audio amps and speakers.

In connection with the second topic, I wonder what other K3 owners might have 
done.
Have you gained any improvement by using external speakers, PC-type speakers 
with audio 
amps built in, or even something like a stereo amp with hi fi speakers?

I have been experimenting with the receiver equalization, using an external 
Collins 312B4 speaker
but still don't have the audio to the way I want it, and I wonder if the 
internal audio amp might
be pushed to its limits in normal operation?  When I say it's not the way I 
want it, that is not
something I can quantify, at all!  I just haven't been able to make SSB sound 
smooth and mellow
like I want.  I won't go so far as to say it is fatiguing.  K3 has the stock 
ssb filter.
