Hi Scott

The muddiness is not coming from listening to my mixes on my Stereo, that sounds great....... to a point. Even mixing with my headphones I get good results. The problem is when I switch to VRM speakers/environments. There are a couple of speaker/envirnments that always trick me into thinking I've just channelled my playback from headphones into my stereo and I keep falling for that one by lifting my headphones only to find it's coming from the VRM, such is the realistic envirnment it can create. But alot of them sound to over treated with reverb which muddies the mix imo. For example. If I select the KRK RP6 G2 in studio mode, my songs sound quite boxy. Switch back to me HiFi or even turn off VRM and you get a more direct sound which is much better.

The sound from my HiFi sounds great despite being in the corner. Only wish I could raise the LH speaker to be in line with the RH speaker.

On a light note, would love to try these speakers out, you may laugh at their size - they're MASSIVE smile
