Worse

Worse than turd polishing: revealing the faults of compression in all their glory.

Even my M-Audio AV40 computer speakers, at a fraction of the cost, can do that very nicely. It's not that one necessarily notices what;'s wrong, it's the feeling of being tired, rather than happy, after a few minutes of it.

You may say that if I didn't want bad recordings to sound bad, I shouldn't have bought monitor speakers, albeit low-end ones. You'd be right!
