I'm not even sure that the idea of "learning speakers" works that well even with acoustic-based music! I subscribe to the adage that the more accurate your monitor system, the more likely your mix will translate to every system, the wider it will spread!

I can't tell you how many times I've gotten mixes with thundering kick drum from someone who should know better than to trust his NS-10's. So much for the idea of "learning speakers". The exceptions still "prove the rule" in my book.
