I do not have any good monitors here and my tinnitus is very annoying at the 
moment, but the bass sounds slightly boosted on my system while the KD is a 
little anonymous. You might wanna try to cut aprox. 3 db on both bass and KD, 
hipass from 80 Hz on bass and around 50 on KD. Also, you might want to boost 
the attack with aprox 3 db somewhere around 3000-4000 Hz. I think this might 
serve as a starting point to make your decitions further.
