Well I did a very simple loop of drums and bass and mixed them down, burnt the result to CD and tried it on a few other systems.
I can safely say all the hype surrounding monitors is true, my mixes have improved 100%. It works pretty well on all systems unlike my previous efforts which just sounded horrible. The Asolute 2's were a good buy.
