Personally I think that any of these will do as long >as you also have an alternate pair of speakers like ie the horrible sounding >NS10s, thereZs a lot of truth in the line "if it sounds good on them it will >sound good on anything". One thing that also complicates this topic is that >unless you have a well acoustically adjusted room youZre probably better off >buying speakers especially for your room and not listen too much to anybody >else. If youZre mixes tend to be a little heavy in the low end, buy speakers >with not so enhanced low ends and vice versa. > 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.
