I go back and forth constantly between mains and smalls, getting things as tight as possible with just faders and compression. I eq only to lessen the disparity between the three systems.

I actually work with different 'small' refs now, because consumer systems no longer tend to be 800-3k focused, they tend to be 3k-8k focused. Laptops, computer speakers, boom boxes, 'bose' style home stereos... things have changed since the 70's.
