Imo this would be wrong for MAKING dubstep

So let's say this sub + tweeter arrangement sounds good to you when you listen to your dubstep creations through it, because the bass and treble are over-emphasized.

Now what happens when your music is played back through a normal system? The bass and treble will be much weaker, so it won't sound like you intended when you mixed it on your sub + tweeter system.

If you want your music to sound the way you intend on systems other than your own, you need to mix on a system with a fairly neutral or "flat" response. Of course you will want that system to have sufficient capability in the bass and treble region, but you get that by having sufficient output capability in your monitor system and then EQing your mix so that it sounds right to you. Mixing on monitors that have a baked-in over-emphasis in the highs and lows will result in JUST THE OPPOSITE when played back through a normal system.

So you want monitors that are flat with a lot of bandwidth (they go deep enough and high enough), and that have a lot of SPL capability (so that they survive what you will be putting into them).

I'm not a recording engineer, but I have designed and built custom monitors for award-winning studios.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
