99% of my hamming is done with headphones, and I find the audio system 
quite decent on cans. The K3 speaker is a small one, and the designer, 
Wayne Burdick, is a nut for minimizing current drain, part of which is 
the audio output stage. The result is not very ballsy sound in the 
speaker, but a lot less current drain on RX.

If sound through a speaker is important to you, buy one and plug it into 
the rear panel jack. In general, larger speakers tend to be more 
efficient (that is, more sound for the same driving voltage).
