So I did a little bit of remixing with my speakers, even though they aren't monitors and it's also been recommended not to mix on those...

But after I finished I came up with a mix that sounded great on both speakers and headphones.

Guess there's just something about letting the sound get out in the open air.

Thanks so much again for this thread, yep.
Yes and I always test in MONO as well. Sometimes that can illuminate things in a mix that you can't notice any other way. The more different speakers you can test on the better IMO..
