[TenTec] Modern version of the Tec Tec Corsair - please Ten Tec!

[Martin Sole (HS0ZED)]

I've long liked the analogue radio sound. So far my all time fave, just 
for the audio, is a KWM2 with that big 6x4 speaker, something about that 
warm sound seems magical. Next up from my current radios would be my 
Omni V. Not sure how that might differ from the Corsair but whilst 
generally pleasant it's not in the KWM2 league. Then the Orion 565 and 
Elecraft K3, bit of a mixed bag these two as they are both very variable 
but I've not yet been able to recreate the analogue sound. I might need 
to experiment with amplifiers right at the point the signal becomes 
analogue. A god analogue audio amp with LTP input and complementary pair 
output in discrete silicon feeding a big speaker, might sound very 
different.

The TS940 had good audio too but for me about the same as the Omni V
