I hate those speakers.
Okay on guitar and vox.
I think they suck...when attempting to mix anything else.
Not a great ref monitor...
Very highly over-rated.
If that were your only set of ref monitors getting a decent mix would be similar
"an act of God" or the "Second Coming of Jesus."

Very rarely are people just plain wrong in regards to taste in gear. You sir, succeed in being wrong.

NS-10's are not "High End Gear". They are bookshelf speakers that people gravitated towards decades ago. Personally I think they sound average...but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They are my truth-tellers, and I can't stand when a studio doesn't have them. Yeah, Genelecs are pretty sounding...but they just don't have that familiar NS-10 freq. curve.

Avalon VT737 (So expensive, so grainy).
Groove Tubes Glory Comp (I own the Vipre and this comp was a total disappointment)
