I have read that (never mix on headphones). Sadly, in my house, I don't have much choice. I didn't name my studio "The Little Corner Studio" for nothing :-) (It's literally a corner in our bedroom behind a rattan screen).

What I've done in the past is get it pretty good, then go out to my ... car. And fine tune it there. Seemed like if it sounded good in the car, it sounded good anywhere.

Only we just replaced that car last week. I'll try it in the "new" car. But it has a pretty good sound system, and that might not be a good thing. It has to sound decent on crappy laptop amp/speakers as well.

I played with this one on the living room stereo, too.

I'm a little tempted to buy some cheaper speakers for our TV and steal my polk bookshelf speakers back for studio monitors. But then ... I'll need an amp, and ... auuuugggghhhHH!!!
