Yes, I think this is adressing one of the real secrets to finding the 
right pair of speakers to mix on - the mixes have to translate to 
other systems in other rooms. Therefore, it is really important to 
know the strengths and weaknesses of your speaker/room combination, 
to vary volume when mixing, walk around your control room - they all 
have peaks and dips, and the smaller the control room, the greater 
the difficulties in the bass end - indeed, the smaller control rooms 
can have modal problems extending right out of the bass end into 
frequency areas which can affect vocals. No matter what set of 
speakers you choose, you have to get to know them REALLY WELL before 
you can trust yourself to mix other peoples music on them. Me? 
Genelec 1031 + 1092 sub, for about the last 10 years ....and I would 
be very tempted to get a set of 5 1030's for surround .....ah well, 
one can dream ....
