Hey Captain Obvious.

I actually do do a bit of mixing for the recordings I make with my band, Bermuda Lights. We're all learning as we go, but so far I've hooked some B&W C1 bookshelf speakers up to my computer (properly amped, of course) and a Polk Audio sub when it comes to doing the mix/master.
That's obviously done a nice job of bringing a realistic representation of the recorded sound, and from reports the C1s seem to be one of the more neuteral speakers out there. But headphones are the ultimate for hearing every nuaunce, and something like those AKGs or Gordon's Audio-Technicas might go down well.
I like an even soundfield, and i can always set the iPod's EQ to 'rock' to pump up the bass + teble a bit if I find it a little 'lite'.

And Gordon, cheers for the info.
As for the car, that's been spent on a few different set-ups in defferent cars. I've had stuff ranging from MBQuart to Dynaudio; PDX amps and some Digital Designs amps (eg Z1); Alpine HUs and of course the whole sound deadening deal and installs. Liam [meatbag] now owns my DDZ1 amp and my DD9515 woofer which I never used! I'm off the car audio for a while, till I get a car worth doing it properly again
