[Elecraft] that Drake or Collins "sound"

[Don Wilhelm]

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.
