I got a subwoofer for my near-field monitors and resurrected some
Altec-Lansing full range speakers.  My mixes are much better and
translate much better since I took those steps.  Now I listen on
those speakers, as well as computer speakers and headphones.  If
it sounds good on all of those, then it pretty much sounds the same
everywhere.

TTFN....
