One day I want to get "serious" monitors

[kidkage]

That being said, you can make good mixes through not so good monitors. I've been using some Maudio 5" crappy monitors for 8 years. I know the monitors, and it's pretty easy to know how the mix is going to translate for me. So in a pinch you can pick up a cheap pair of monitors for $150 on ebay and make some great songs until you get some better stuff.

I agree completely.

This thread might come off as me not being happy with what I've got. Not the case. I love my Rokit 6's. I've been listening to a lot of stuff on them that I'm familiar with to sort of understand how mixes translate.
Once I get the treatment up in the room I'm hoping it'll be even better.
I'll totally be keeping them and A/B'ing once I get whatever new ones.

That's the way to do it. I think a lot of people expect too much from new gear, and don't realize if their stuff is crap with crap gear it'll probably be crap with good gear too. You got the right attitude though!
