Hi Grizwalter,
I think your mix is probably a bit hot. I downloaded into my DAW just to make sure, and the wave file certainly looks very busy, not necessarily squashed, but absolutely jammed packed with very little headroom.
I really liked the vocals, which were pretty clear, but the bass especially was extremely distorted. I know that the intro section has that distorted effect, but it seems a bit too much.
Try dialing back all your faders about 3 db, and maybe the bass& drums a touch more.
If you haven't done so already, make sure you calibrate your lovely new speakers to 83-85dbSPL at -20dBFS using -20dBFS Pink Noise
Good luck
HB, thought I'd check this out like I said, and here's what I found.
I compared the visual of the waveforms as well as the metering with everything left nominal. These two screenshots tell the story. In both, the Blue track is Cracker's song, Low (one of many tunes I used as a reference when Mastering Stitch-Up), and the yellow track is my Mix of Bobby Nobody.
