Not Getting An Accurate Mix

Hello friends at HomeRecording.com,

I've determined that I'm not getting an accurate mix, but I'm not sure why. I'm using Sonar X1 with a Roland Octa-Capture interface. When I listen to a project on my DAW (system A), the mix sounds great. When I listen to it on a different computer (system B), the mix sounds flat. I know it's not the monitors, because I've used them before with consoles in the same room and never had this issue. Plus, I connected different speakers (from system B) and got the same sound. The mix sounds the same during mixing and after export on system A. Played on anything other than system A, the mix sounds worse. Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
I think you just learned how important having an "honest" monitoring chain is. Your speakers might be fine, but is your room treated at all? If not, there's your problem.
 
Thanks for the response. I was using a digital console with the same monitors in the same room prior to Sonar. Why was I getting good mix translation then?
