Someone mentioned using crappy speakers to monitor your mix. I think it was George Porter I heard in an interview say that the Meters would line-in to a little jam box with 2" speakers to monitor those old classic funk hits. The idea was that most people would be listening to the songs on a car stereo, which back in the 60s and 70s weren't very good. If it sounded good on the jam box it would sound good in the car. I guess these days most people listen to music on wireless ear buds. I've always heard that monitoring a mix on ear phones was a no no. So I don't know lol.
Even high end studios keep crappy monitors around. They want to know that things sound good on all kinds of speakers.

Depending on the music you make, what you need is what you need. Its easier to get away with electronic and highly compressed samples, etc.
But if you're wanting to record distorted guitars, mic a drumkit, use DI amp sims, etc..you need to be able to EQ, by fitting the low end together with the drums and bass, reducing annoying guitar frequencies, and being able to fit the vocals in..but the key is being able to audibly recognize what you need.
I use HS8s for my home setup. Got them for a little over $300 each. Which isn't bad, as I've seen some going for $8000+ each.
