MP3s, and yes, I could hear the difference between a lot of MP3s with the new monitors. In lower quality MP3s especially, there seems to be a lot of added compression as well as lost info from the top and bottom of the spectrum as well as an overall loss of detail. This quality change sounds very different though from loud mastering, so I was able to hear the difference well enough. In a 'scientific test' of course I'd be listening to CDs or 44.1k/16 bit wav files...
