Perhaps, but it's the wrong test. Elecraft makes communications radios, 
where the program material is SPEECH with a bandwidth of about 400 Hz - 
3 kHz. The right test would be close miked recordings of speech using an 
omni mic.

Then there's the matter of using the K2 as a source, and whatever mic 
was used with it. While all the radios are hearing the same signal, the 
response of the K2 and the mic used can tilt the "sounds good" decision 
to one that compensates for any non-flat response in the K2.
