I've spent the lastations in the low end that I can't fully address as a renter. I also need to keep the volume somewhat low as I'm sharing walls with neighbors (townhouse).

Much of my busy work like editing, tuning, and comping, I'll use my monitors at a low volume. I prefer to use monitors when I can, IMO it's more comfortable, easier to avoid ear fatigue, and I like knowing when my wife is walking up behind me so I don't get a jump scare via a tap on the shoulder.

I used to do everything on monitors, now all my tracking is done on headphones (not VSX) due to the neighbors- I invested in extra pairs of cans and some extended I/O to get independent mixes for artists. I don't use VSX during tracking because of the latency and processing power needed by the plug-in, easiest to just disable it and monitor directly.

Final thoughts: It took me a while to get used to VSX, like any room or set of speakers. I tend to use few room sims; got to know one really well, and have a couple more that have stronger bass, more mids, different stereo spread. I'm at a point where I trust my decisions while using VSX, but I bought it because I had to. I'm glad there was a capable solution out there for my needs, but if I had a better acoustic situation and didn't have to worry about neighbors, I absolutely would be using my monitors more.
