My ears hurt. The engineer should be shot, and don't wait until sunset.

Really tipped up, most of the energy has got to be 500Hz and up with some really deep bass, but NOTHING in the middle. Has the "pile of sound on the floor in between the speakers" thing going on too. Midbass shows up in passing on some songs, as well as some lower midrange. They went "loud" too, apparently a lot of digital clipping, I listened to one side at moderate volume and my ears are ringing and my teeth hurt.

No dynamic range either. Bummer.
