Bollocks! I've got friends who get great mixes on crap equipment. One uses $15 Sony headphones and a 15" Fender bassbin. The other uses $50 Koss headphones and a $50 boombox. One of these guys is on Strictly Rhythm. Some people know how to mix and some don't. If you know how to mix and cann make stuff sound good on crap equipment then it will sound good on any equipment. If you don't know how to mix then $1000 worth of speakers won't help.
