They will use the speakers in sub optimal rooms (keeping the volume down so as not to annoy family and neighbours).
That is the minutiae to maybe consider when you have the luxury of high end wide bandwidth monitors with excellent controlled dispersion patterns in optimized acoustic environments. When you know that minimal undesirable resonances don't plague your loudspeaker drive units, that your amplifiers have more than adequate dynamic range for low colouration at realistic volumes, and that most importantly of all your recordings are as good as they possibly can be.
When you hear the gulf between a good playback system and a mediocre or poor one you will know that this is irrelevant and merely a technical footnote.

Some people's interest in audio is all about geek forum arguments, and nothing to do with recording music. Let them have their fun!
