oldjoe, my message was an allegory. A simpler allegory would be that "tailors don't use funhouse mirrors."
The purpose of montoring while recording is to find out what kind of sound you're actually getting from your mike setup. If one set of monitor phones (or speakers, or whatever) has more bass (or treble, or midrange, or anything else) than another set, that doesn't make them better as monitors, and can very well make them worse. For a while about ten years ago I used a popular model of sealed headphones that has somewhat boosted bass response. They were great in the studio for detecting hum in a setup, but I found that my live recordings were becoming thin sounding, because the headphones were giving me "delusions of adequacy" at low frequencies.
Nowadays I use monitor headphones that I frankly dislike the sound of--but they present the whole relevant frequency range without exaggerating or distorting anything very much, and they are well sealed from room sound. If I wanted to listen through headphones purely for pleasure, I would choose a very different type of headphone.
I hope my point is clearer now?
