well, if you phrase it that way... :D
I would also reason that you get an as transparent as possible DAC and speakers that are a bit less fatiguing (or whatever is the term for what the Avocet mellows out).

I guess it is ok, as long as the sum of the monitoring chain is accurate and comfortable to work with, and the engineer knows what he is listening to.

Of course, balancing budget is an important factor. Mister BK found a blend of gear that works for him within the budget.
In theory it is all pretty simple... Just get the Lavry Gold, the 250K monitoring and have a room designed for you. Real life is slightly different, as we all now.
