I used an SP-20 for years with my Icom and other radios and was very
satisfied with it.  Then I got a Yaesu SP-5 that came with an FT-1000D
and put that speaker on my Icom radios.  To my old ears (after listening
to airplane engines for 35 years) the SP-5 sounded much better and
clearer than the SP-20.  The SP-20 sounded somewhat muddled to me in
comparison.  I sold the SP-20 and kept the SP-5 and use it on all my
radios.  I hope that's not heresy to use a Yaesu speaker on an Icom
radio.
