I'm not even sure that flat response is absolutely necessary if 
the distortion is low. You can certainly loose the base 
frequencies in a voice without impacting understandability. 
Raising the distortion on the other hand will have bad effects 
almost immediately, and they will get worse as the distortion rises.

One of the reasons I've been able to get through the W1AW/n 
pileups is the low distortion of the K3 and KX3, and the use of 
your (K9YC's) non-flat response recommendations to get maximum 
intelligibility for my 100 watts.
