I don't know.  If you have a tendency to mix bottom heavy I think it 
is better to get bottom heavy speakers just to help keep you from 
over doing it.

Anyway in that vein I no longer go along with if it sounds good on 
NS10 it will sound good on anything  line.  NS10s hype certain 
frequencies and if you adjust your mix to that hyped sound you are 
going to get mixes that sound a little flat and dull on truer none 
hyped speakers.
