I do agree with the AKG's

As far as the speakers go; It depends on what market you're aiming at.
Most peoples listen to PC speakers or cheap-ass all-in-one sets or these crappy 5.1 surround crap things. Most records are aimed to sound properly on these pieces of ****.
But believe me, when you have a pair of proper ears and a proper audio set-up, these records are annoying as hell...
