Theres something to be said about using crappy speakers to your advantage though. Sounds crazy I know. But i know a few engineers that will do this, mix on yamaha NS10's (which sound like shit) but their selling point was if it sounds good on these it will sound good on most everything else.

Ideally you should have a few different listening mediums when mixing. At least monitors and headphones, a smaller set of crappy computer speakers is a good thing to use as well. I've sometimes even used ear buds. I try and think of what other people will be listening to the music on. Most people don't have studio quality speakers.
