CPU whine through one monitor speaker

Just got ‘em in. Playing a few tracks. Very nice. It’s funny, I remember being really happy with the Equators when I got them. And I could just copy/paste my previous experience:

> Wanna share that I’m amazed at the ‘space’ that these speakers create. I don’t know how to describe it exactly, just that I’m often surprised by how ‘open' everything sounds. I’m not sure if the word is ‘transparent’, it’s just that details pop out much more vividly, especially with stereo sounds.

Just again much more detailed than my Equators, which were much more detailed than the Tannoy Active Reveals. I feel that particularly the lows are more defined (kicks are very punchy), a wider stereo image (like the cymbals in drums are panned out much further) and individual elements (particularly voice) are more seperated. It’s basically easier to recognize all individual elements in a track. 

Great!

PS: no cpu whine yet :P
