Jim, the K3 speaker itself is actually not too bad and has a decent-sized 
diaphragm and magnet driver.  The problem is with the way the speaker mounts 
to the cabinet.  A simple baffle would eliminate the short-circuiting of the 
back-wave.  That is THE reason why the stock K3 speaker sounds so "thin."
My favorite speaker with any Com radio is either the Realistic Minimus 7 or 
11 -- the only R/S products I own.  I've owned the Omni VII and K3 at the 
same time.  When using the Minimus 7, the audio quality between both rigs 
sounded identical to me.
