I too have used the 2-way radio speakers for more than 30 years and
originally did with my K3. But after going thru the junk stach again a
discovered I had a pair of amplified speakers (not cheap) used with Radio
Dispatch Consoles as SELECT and UN-SELECT audio channels. They contain ~ 6
watt audio amp and a substancial speaker, power by 12 volts. So I now have
plenty of audio and with the speakers spaced about 6 feet apart there is
noticable separation, and the AFX function is great when desired.
With the extra amplification and volume controls I can set the K3 volume
control for hot earphone level, yet turn down the external speaker levels.
I know it is overkill, but need to put the junk in use, or give it away :-)

I don't use speakers a lot, but the best sounding ones I have ever used
were the ones designed for land mobile radio in-car use. The GE Mastr II
and the GE/Ericsson Delta speakers were designed to be rugged and were
tailored for "communications" audio. I'm sure Motorola had equivalents,
but
I'm not all that familiar with their product line. The speakers are
generally found under tables at hamfests for a few bucks. The black/gray
Delta speakers even match the Elecraft line... ;-)

Given the size of the P3 case I suspect one would be limited to a 3"
or 3.5" (round) speaker or a 3 x 5" oval one. The interior of the
P3 front panel is slightly less than 4" x 6" and will not accommodate
either
a 6" (round) speaker or 4 x 6" (oval).
