Phil Spector and Brian Wilson always used Aurotone speakers for part of the mastering process to insure that the music would sound good even in a car.

Yamaha NS-10 is a very harsh sounding speaker which has also been widely used as a "nearfield monitor" to check mixes.

I guess it depends but i stopped working on any 2 channel stuff for the most part.

i just bump the levels if there is room. maybe ill take out something offensive if it alters the overall bump in levels but thats about it.

for the most part im playing back / checking for issues on one of two systems.

adcom pre -adcom 2 channel amp > bookshelves i built on my desk or the bigger system which is currently raspberry pi >usb >grace sdac >grace m902 > outlaw audio monoblocks > altec lansing 80s speakers

i have a few sets of cans but dont typically use them after the wife commandeered them.
AKG c426, AKG414 XLS/ST, AKG ck61, ck22, >nBob colettes >PFA > V3, SD MixPre >  TCM-Mod Tascam HDP2, Sony M10
