I am not certain what speakers you folks are using for these comparison tests, but if using the internal speakers, that alone can make a big difference.

I use my K2 with an external speaker (a 6 inch woofer - amplified of course) - and I can say that if I feed it to the inputs of my shack stereo system it really sounds good - the internal speaker makes things sound a bit 'tinny' just because it is a small speaker.

I did some A/B testing with my K2, Drake 2B and R4A. The 2B was in
fabulous condition and had the Q multiplier.  The 4A had some issues
which made it work just not quite right.

I found the 2B to be a wonderful sounding rig for CW.  It was warm and
rich and the signals had a smoothness that was wonderful.  The K2 didn't
sound a nice but it wasn't that far behind.
