It's silly to spend big bucks for a speaker (or mic) for the ham shack. We don't need extended response, but we do want FLAT response and reasonably low distortion in the voice range.

I'm not even sure that flat response is absolutely necessary if the distortion is low. You can certainly loose the base frequencies in a voice without impacting understandability. Raising the distortion on the other hand will have bad effects almost immediately, and they will get worse as the distortion rises.

One of the reasons I've been able to get through the W1AW/n pileups is the low distortion of the K3 and KX3, and the use of your (K9YC's) non-flat response recommendations to get maximum intelligibility for my 100 watts.
