My TS-480 also sounds better than my K3. My K3 was sent back to factory to see if there was an audio issue with my particular K3. They compared mine to a factory unit, using an audio spectrum analyzer and noted that my K3 and a new factory K3 were "the same".
The TS-480 just sounds better to these ears. Oh, and it is magic........

I have always felt the K3 was a looser in the audio department - but, with the many menu settings available - most of the problem can be mitigated. There a lot of things that can be done with the menu settings on the K3 (presumably on the K3S also) that effect the RX audio - EQ settings, AGC settings, etc. I have posted my favorite settings in the past - it took weeks and weeks of tinkering to find settings for common armchair copy listening. I do use Behringer MS40 speakers also (no RF problems ever experienced). The really sad part: My Kenwood TS480 out "sounds" my K3 right out of the box. Just saying a fact, so no flames please.
