The music is muddy and lacks detail (or atleast it does to my ear)

As for the computer speakers if what I think is missing is say low Effects below 60Hz and high effects above say 15khz I wouldn't be able to tell on computers speakers that go from say 70hz-15khz they lack the range... with out an external Realtime plot of output it would be very hard to judge...

Add that to the fact the SB live is no where near the quality in thd, singel to noise or responce it is not a good test...

I think I need to get someone that knows a good deal about ripping and set up program X to rip in the highest quality the Empeg can support then test again.
