Rob.
all good points.
one reason i wont spend a fortune on monitors is ive lost count the number of times in a studio with very nice monitoring,...ie the mix sounded fantastic on the big
monitors...but sometimes not on a boombox...or other
el cheapo speakers. i learnt this the hard way.
sometimes the translation to junk stuff does work but sometimes not.
in summary its a very hard to balance to achieve whereby a song sounds great on everything.

lets also recognise many people these days listen on dollar store earbuds. yes..some pay lots for good iem's.
but most dont.

this topic has dogged me all my music life.

heres an interesting aspect...edifier charge i think 120 buks for a pretty decent pair of speakers powered.

ive asked myself too many times are we fooling ourselves mixing on fancy monitors which most of the world doesnt own ?

just asking.
