We are drifting way off the original post question which was related to 
the K2 and transmit audio.
If the discussion is to morph to the K3 and its receive audio, someone 
needs to change the subject line.
The K3 does have the RX EQ which can change the RX audio substantially.
The internal speaker is pretty good, but is not of "Hi-Fi" quality. Put 
a pair of good bookshelf speakers on the rear speaker jack and the 
character of the K3 receive audio changes drastically.

I for one have never used any of the inboard speaker on any radio preferring to use external devices to suit my needs.  Having said that the audio sharpness / crispness is good on the internal speaker in general.  Fidelity is a different story.  That' s what earphones and external devices are for.  The Tx audio is par excellence.  IMHO.
