I'm wondering if we took a ham into a room, blindfolded, sat him or her down 
if front of a K2 and K3, didn't let them touch either one, if he or she could 
tell which is the K2 and K3?  I would have to be someone that doesn't have any 
experience with either one.  I wonder which one would win based on sound 
alone.  Also, they would have to use headphones rather than the internal 
speakers.
