Roelof,
Your experience substantiates my idea that everyone's ears and
perceptions are a bit different. I did say the K2 is adequate, and that
small speaker is good and very efficient, but not really to my liking.
IMHO, as a society, we may declining rapidly in audio perception when I
hear advertising statements which hint that MP3 recordings are better
quality than CD recordings! We have finally achieved good quality
digital preservation of sound waves, and now the iPod crowd and its
popularity may be diminishing the easy availability of high quality
recordings for the consumer - that trend concerns me.

Hello Don,
I have finished my K2 a couple of weeks ago and did not expect much
from the speaker.
One can be wrong. The audio from the speaker is really excellent, at
least on CW.
I can't follow the remarks on low audio volume, because my unit has
ample of it.
Over the years I have used a LM380 in all my home made projects and
been very pleased with the results.
On an other note, I have also found that for weak signal work my brain
seems to work best with a low audio volume. Thus a quiet room has
proved to be more important than strong audio. When the going gets
tough I even switch off my quiet PC.
